Tacky...
Since the anniversary of 9/11 passed recently and I'm listening to CBC Newsworld in the background, I just wanted to comment on the tackiness of this 9/11 memorial coin. A commercial for it just played on Newsworld...
The idea of a 9/11 commemorative coin is problematic at best, IMHO. The coin allegedly "contains silver...precious silver taken from the heart of Ground Zero." Is there not a better way to commemorate 9/11? Like...I dunno...perhaps an objet d'art that isn't the equivalent of a pop-up book?
And aren't these ads usually relegated to late night programming or the Game Show Network??
