9/11 memorial gift shop pisses some people off

Some of the families of the 9/11 terrorist victims are really upset that the gift shop is loaded with 'tastless, tacky' trinkets. The money raised will supposedly be spent maintaining the museum. HERE is the story. It's the damn Daily Mail. They said 8,000 people were killed there and remain unidentified, so they literally put them under the museum. I thought it was a typo, but, no, that dumb ass Daily Mail writer specified '8,000' again at the end of the article. Cripes. Some people need to be fired there, they are completely lazy and incompetent. But, the fact remains that they are selling junk 'over my son's dead body', as the mother of one victim said.

Everyone is different, but, I think I could ignore this. The museum has to raise money somehow. All of it is privately funded. What I question is the salaries of people who work there..wtf? Like, the museums CPO, Joe Daniels makes $378,000  year. From 'private donations'. There's more on there if you go read it. Jebus. WTF do museum directors do to earn that kind of dough? How many private donations are there and how are they used? How many of these high earning dudes are there? When I think of selling trinkets in a gift shop, I think of our little hospital and insignificant amounts. But, this is the 9/11 museum in Manhattan. Those 'trinkets' represent million of $. That stupid little dog toy costs $20 bucks. I'll bet they sell millions of them this year. This could be nothing but a money making opportunity. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this should be watched closely. There's probably a huge conspiracy theory group out there. There always is. You know, like, George Bush sent those planes himself as part of an Illuminati plan. (Giant eye roll.) Anyway, yeah, the gift shop is tacky. But, it's ALL privately funded. Who's gonna watch them? The IRA? Hahahahahha..fucker please. Dis be da goberment secret project. You can't tell me they don't have their sticky fingers in it. The museum has a $63 million dollar a year budget! The families of victims have more to worry about here than tacky trinkets. This whole thing could blow up into an embarrassing fiaso in a few short years. As for me, it doesn't interest me to see a bunch of blown up pieces of metal and a gift shop. The towers are fine, but, that memorial pool looks like a peek into the depths of wet hell to me. It's really, really bad looking. Maybe I just had a bad feeling about the whole thing once I saw that pool. It's creepy.

The Daily Mail needs to make some heads roll. A quick search will tell you that nearly 3,000 people died in the 9/11 attacks. Not 8,000. That's some shamefully bad reporting. What do you think of the memorial and museum?
