Using 9/11 to sell MP3 players?

Personally I dont really see it as being that bad.
 
Cheesy advertising, but I wouldn't call it morally unresponsible.
 
I should note this is advertising from Asia. Its not ment for America.

Oh, then actually that is morally unresponsible.

You don't see us exploiting Hiroshima to promote Old Navy sales.
 
i just think it's a bad ad.
i mean, who cares WHAT that kid is standing in front of... that gives him no right to wear just ONE white glove.:cmad:

absolutely.
i used to wear fingertipless gloves.... but i wore TWO god damnit!
but one?!?
i mean, what IS that?
just his RIGHT hand is cold?
does he have "bad circulation" in that hand?
and if so, will this MP3 player fix that somehow?...

i rest my case.
 
It's a tad distasteful. but...uhm...meh.

He's gonna die anyhow...what with all the smoke pollution and shizzle.
 
Completely wrong. That's like using the Holocaust on a lesser scale to sell something.
 
"I belive, music makes hope"?

Nothing in that sentence makes sense, nevermind the mispelling of "believe".

Don't you belive?

I belive.
 
Selling Mp3 players doesn't kill anyone. Wars started using 9/11 as an excuse killed thousand of people (and made someoen richer).
 
Its sorta sick, but thats the whole point. Its gets people's attention.
 
Yes it is wrong but manufactures will advertise anything to sell their product.
 
I'm not seeing why people think this is related to 9/11. That could be any demolished building.

Any building that looks just like the WTC ruin? ok
 
I just wish Mentok would fix his sig. :O

Looks like a pile of rubble to me. And just because it might have similar architecture doesn't mean it's meant to represent the WTC. You honestly think that with as many buildings as there are in the world, that some of them don't look similar at the base?

Dont care if it is or not but seems to have it to a "T" Even the top of it is the same so...
 
THWIP* is gone, trust me, I know where he went.
 
'Tis a secret society, tzar...
