“...using 9/11 to sell COKE.” This is precisely what I am referring to. The notion that business is vulgar is itself a vulgar attitude.
The towers are iconic. How is commemorating 9/11 with a display made of COKE containers in poor taste? If it were constructed with human skulls I would have a problem. COKE is benign. It is in no way offensive unless one is offended by business.
Who said business was vulgar? I never did. Business is not vulgar but there is a time and place for it. That is called exercising judgment and taste. Combining the worst terrorist incident in America with a sales pitch was bound to offend someone.
Perhaps if we sold hoodies on the anniversary of the Ft. Hood massacre you would understand what seems perfectly clear to me.
