I so so SO hate people
Firm recalls candy with 9/11 attack toy
Small toys showing an airplane flying into the World Trade Center were packed inside more than 14,000 bags of candy and sent to small groceries around the country before being recalled.
Lisy Corp., the wholesaler that distributed the candy, said Friday that the toys were purchased in bulk from a Miami-based import company.
The toys came in an assortment purchased sight unseen from L&M Import in Miami and included the toys depicting the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the twin towers, whistles and other small toys, said Luis Pedron, Lisy’s national sales manager. The invoice said the toy was a plastic swing set.
“I hate to blame the importer. He probably did not know what he was getting. He brings them in 40-foot containers. But whoever made it knew exactly what they were making,” Pedron said.
Pedron said Lisy did not notice the small plastic figurines until two people complained, but there is no mistaking what the toys represent: At the bottom of each is the product number 9011.
Who could make this? What kind of scum-sucking pile of dog shit thinks this is a good thing to design, mold and produce?
A woman who answered the telephone at L&M and refused to give her name said Friday she did not know anything about the toy.
Yeah. I bet you didn’t.

So, what the Hell does this toy do? It doesn’t look like it does anything. That makes it less of a toy, and more of a crappy plastic figurine.
Regardless, I would still buy one. Just one, though.
