I find this a little offensive. What's next? World Trade Center bungee jump?

Posted: 9/25/09 at 3:25pmWell, I guess if it was a choice between that and the Hindenberg hot air balloon ride, I'd take the slide.

And I guess this is the deluxe slide. It comes with an iceberg.

^ And it looks like it also comes with no lifeboats! Props for being historically accurate!
I just ordered a Berlin Wall inflatable rock climb for my birthday.

There you go.
I've seen this before. Actually, they also have a Titanic cat tree, believe it or not.
This could possibly pass for being delightfully campy if it wasn't for all the victims of that tragedy.
Ladies and gentlemen, step right up to try to World Trade Center bungee jump!

If only hitting an actually iceberg was that fun! I have decided, I will have this and Berlin Wall rock climb for my next birthday! It could be a theme!
but really, I have seen these before, but never really thought about how horribly tacky it is.

Posted: 9/26/09 at 12:42pmUnfortunately that slide is nothing new, I remember when I was younger right after the movie came out at a church carnival; they had one of those, I was so excited. It never dawned on me back then how disrespectful it was.

I must confess to owning TITANIC, the board game. It was a gag gift from a friend of mine on my birthday.
I was horrified.
Then we actually played it on the spot, you know, because of the "wrongness" factor. We first made a big pitcher of margaritas, then put on one of the Gold Collection Loony Tunes DVD sets, and had ourselves a tacky time navigating through this tragic, historical event.
The object of the game is to gather up all these items first: your health certificate, room key, jewelry, life jacket, etc., then you pay your way into First Class, and make it into a lifeboat before the ship sinks.
Fun! And totally wrong.
And I loved playing it. In fact, we went through a good period where at least once every couple of weeks, we would drag out this game, the cartoon DVDs, pour the margaritas, and enjoy being morally hideous and completely disconnected from reality in our living room.
I know that humor can be a natural coping mechanism for dealing with the uglier sides of life. This "bad joke" ran its course soon enough, and the game hasn't been touched in years now.
Oh, and it wasn't meant to be "funny" either! There's nothing blatantly irreverent or campy about it. Almost like the creators were oblivious to how horrible the concept really was. And it says, "Ages 7 and up" on the box. Disturbing.
It does make me wonder how soon it will be before we see games for 9/11, Princess Diana, and (God forbid), even the Holocaust.

Posted: 9/26/09 at 1:48pmI've seen those types of Titanic slides before. One of my neighbors actually rented one for a party a while back. It never occurred to me that it was disrespectful.
