i just can't imagine how anyone could think this was a good idea.

this reminds of that kid last year that travelled to NYC to commit suicide at ground zero as a protest. obviously that one is more disturbing than this artist, but still....

This is nuts!

Too many people get offended nowadays. People need to learn to grow some thicker skin and realize the world doesn't revolve around them. :cool:

This guy is an artist and he is remembering a devastating day in our nation's history. Is he an idiot because he's showing people what they don't want to see? I admire him for doing this and keeping the thought in the back of our minds.

What's the difference between what he's doing and that memorial they want to put at ground zero? :cool:

I don't have a dog in this one, but I think the images that it conjures up in the mind still bothers people who watched from the street or the sofa as hundreds of people chose to jump to their deaths rather than burn.
