I’m sure that those who died on 9/11 would have LOVED to know that they are being remembered by 20% off sales!!!

“I wrote that stupid post at 1am with yoga brain.”

So yoga makes you stupid and insensitive? Seems like it’s supposed to do the opposite.

And next Dec 7th, don’t forget the 20% all pearl earrings at the jewelry store! It’s the Pearl Harbor Day special!
Of course, our wedding anniversary is June 6, and my wife only realized this year (after 21 years!!) that we got married on D-Day.

Nothing like dead folks to celebrate life, liberty and pursuit of the $$$

Reminds of teaXians getting rich off Je$u$’ name.

Fool! Mine is July 5th! Not only do I get months of very loud reminders, but I get one last day of warning!

Did this yoga studio only in trouble because they got caught?

Some would love it; some would hate it.

This is disgusting.

Every mainstream television and radio infotainment profit center and click-baiting web site is cashing in on terrorism and fear-mongering every day non-stop. The war profiteers in government who fan the flames of war like Dick Cheney and Dianne Feinstein are poised to cash in once again.

To my thinking, this is more vile only in being blatant enough to recognize so readily, but perhaps not so vile in that the war profiteers and media outlets are quite cognizant of what they’re doing.

Memorial Day is not commemorating a specific day in history, plus many people get the day off from work, unlike 9/11 or 12/7. So they really are very different.

your picture is Abe Lincoln and you don’t know what Memorial Day is??? It began as a day of remembrance for the Union dead in the Civil War. Not a particular day, but certainly a solemn occasion.

but really, is this yoga studio story the least important story/controversy of all time? Or does that prize still belong to the Zara concentration camp shirt story from a few weeks ago?

Oh, c’mon. There is absolutely nothing, given enough time, that we can’t trivialize. I’d rather see 9/11 trivialized than exploited to push bad policy.
