F*** them. Not sure how the Chinese government has allowed the media to publicize 9/11, but it wouldn't shock me if there were some bin Laden supporters there.
That is very f*cking poor taste, no pun intended. I see the URL of the pic is "http://joke.563.net/date/2004/10409.jpg". Someone tell me it's a gimmick by one of those Chinese ethnic minorities?
This is equivalent to opening up a Japanese sushi restaurant with a big banner with photos from the rape of Nanjing on it.
Can you give us the link to the article? edited to add: Nevermind, found it: http://joke.563.net/article/2005/2005-6-23/59601.html What does it say in the caption?
My take, it's probably real and the owner of the stand thought it might catch attention/be funny with that on there. It was very insensitive but part of that comes from the fact that people in China don't know how bad something like this is to the Americans. However, I think it's not any more wrong (or in another words just as wrong) as the "Tsunami song" in NY, or in a lesser extent Steve Kerr using the word "Chinaman". The user might not realise how bad something like this is, but for people affected by it, it's horrifying
Yes, celebrating Usama bin Laden, who has killed thousands of Americans is just as bad as calling somebody a name. That's the stupidist thing I've ever heard in my life.
