AThingThatMakesMeGoHmmmmmm: Empty Gestures Mean so Much

Remembrance of Things Past?

Um...sometimes there comes a time when you just have to "call a spade a bloody shovel," as my ex used to say. So it is that today.

On the one month anniversary of September 11, 2013, I bring you a vision of our idiocracy that apparently appeared in an unnamed city's Courtyard Marriott. Photographed by @eclectrica, this little treasure shows us all how ridiculous we can be, when we try hard enough.

It's my pleasure to bring you what happens when we live our lives through our mobile phone cameras, and not through our own two eyes.

Let's hope this was Marriott-wide policy and that you could have gone to the Marriotts in downtown NYC and seen signage like this. Man-oh-man, I can hear the New Yorkers now:

"What the hell, Fred. Get a load of this! The terrorists killed over 3,000 people, and we got free mini-muffins for 30 minutes in remembrance. Mini-muffins?! Where are the friggin' bagles? This happened in New York for chrissake!"

Be sure to open your purses, there's more mini-muffins from where those came.

Wow...dear lord. One friend replied: " If that offer from 8:45-9:15 was supposed to correspond to the window of time when the towers were hit than this is just as tasteless as those muffins likely were."
