    quick query

    Is the use of the term twin towers still available without 9/11 connotations?

    Man, that was the dumbest commercial I have ever seen...and I usually enjoy jokes that cover controversial topics.

    But this? Completely not funny and filled with nothing but stupid. Wow.

    This is America people should be free to do what they want. People complain about the PC culture then when something offends then they will be like no you can't make fun of that.

    It's a 2013 "ad" from The Onion, so you can laugh.


    http://www.theonion.com/article/new-subway-promotion-to-honor-subtember-11-33768

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Like everyone, we are deeply offended by the fake story and ad created by The Onion.</p>&mdash; SUBWAY® (@SUBWAY) <a href="https://twitter.com/SUBWAY/status/376100180296073216">September 6, 2013</a></blockquote>

    But at least one Subway was fooled into honoring the "coupon."

    They got sent death threats. They tried to make it up by donating 30 percent of their proceeds to a charity benefiting 9/11, but ended up being closed over the weekend

    It's funny in a sense that they thought that would be actually funny.

    And I don't think them being Hispanic has much to do with their poor taste.

    Cause they got death threats. Death threats are not a protected form of speech. These people seem like the Muslims who try to kill people for drawing Mohamed.
