Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Gratitude?

I'm not exactly sure what to make of this:

At least this second one looks more like a commemoration:

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*My first blush.. Horrendous.

Second... if they can't even agree on how to spell September, then I can't take them seriously. First attempt - Septemo. Second attempt - Septem.

The second carpet looks like a large sword going through the twin towers and a large drop of blood coming off its handle.

I say, show this off to our service men over there and see if they are happy to see it hanging out in the open.

*Gosh, I bet the tourists snap these up like hot cakes. I wonder if you can order them online.
