Getting the coupon accepted was an inside job, tho.  I hope the prankster is looking for a new job, not because of his offbeat sense of humor.  I actually applaud that considering that as a country we do overdramatize September 11.  But, defrauding one's employer for the sake a joke is not something that should be encouraged or accepted.

>Like everyone, we are deeply offended by the fake story and ad created by The Onion.

Bullsht.  You were laughing yourselves to Hell like everyone else was.

I'm so happy it's finally marginally acceptable to make bad 9/11 jokes. About four years ago I got astonished and disgusted looks for throwing paper airplanes at people then declaring that I just 9/11'ed them.

Just a year ago, I had to take a very good Romney/9-11/Jenga GIF out of my sig (highly recommended).

I've taken to wishing my friends and coworkers a 'Happy 9/11!' in recent years.
