Not so cute
Toy In Candy Bag Appears To Depict 9/11 Attack
ORLANDO, Fla. — A bag of candy shocked a local grandmother and will most likely shock you. The toy inside looks like a plane flying right into the Twin Towers. Now, that toy is off some local store shelves because of our story.
It doesn’t stop there, though. That grandmother was surprised, again, when she read the numbers imprinted on the toy.
Until Thursday afternoon, the little toys were on sale to kids around Central Florida — two towers with a jetliner in between that appears to be crashing into one of the buildings. They come in packages along with candy.

Only person with a twisted psychosis and an obsession with 9/11 can see that as anything but inncocent.

okey then, what kind of toy is it supposed to be?

What is really odd is that no one seems to know where this toy came from. It was imported as toy swing sets. Who manufactured it? Why this instead of swing sets? Where else is this being sold? Was it meant for another country?
Frankly, I fail to see how anyone could see this as innocent. One doesn't find planes frequently between two tall sky scrapers.

I'm usually on the side of "people seeing too much in innocent things". However, I do believe that is in bad taste. Three years ago, who cares? Cute little candy thing. Now, not so much. All I think when I see that is how horrified I was on September 11th. Now a little candy dispenser like that kind of offends me.

Ask a child what it looks like for Gods sake.
Get real. Its a plane flying over a city.
Theres a tower each side holding the plane up so you can spin it round.
You can also buy the same toy but instead of a plane and buildings its a monkey climbing two trees.
You people need help.
