Marriott still gets a pass because they lost a hotel (Marriott World Trade Center) that day.

I agree and it should be a tourist attraction. Not in the way coney island is but in the way that it is a historical site that changed the way we live. There are many places in the US that are sad, tragic that is also involve death that helped shape this country good or bad. There are more reasons for tourist…

I’d be shocked if a lot of people got the “fat man” and “little boy” references.

I went when I was in New York. It's moving. The museum (a museum is definitely a tourist attraction) is one of the best museums I have ever been to. I think, like any memorial site, it can be a really valuable and reflective experience.

Also, not everyone who visits the site of the Twin Towers or the the Pentagon Memorial or the Shanksville Memorial gets to be dismissed as a “tourist.” People who do not live in New York City are allowed to mourn and pay their respects.

Please tell me that’s not real.

It’s not even a good promotional concept. They shoulda gone with all mattresses are 9-11% off.

Reminds me an awful lot of my Great-Auntie Annie’s plastic slipcovers.

Ah, yes, I see she was inspired by my Puerto Rican grandmother’s couch.

If this were performance art, or some art installation in a gallery somewhere, I’d be all for it. It’s really interesting.

Do they come with instructions on what to do about farts?

I don’t know why, but this reminds me of my lust for/subsequent severe disappointment with Jellies in approximately 1988/89. I was somewhere around 6 or 7 and I wanted them soooo much and then I got a pair! Yay! And they were the fucking worst. You could hardly walk in them because of the sweat situation and if you…

“I would potentially wear these if I thought I could walk in them, which I definitely can’t.”
