9/11 advertising gets truly tasteless

We’ve come across a pair of advertising efforts this morning that are united in their exploitation of 9/11 and in their stupidity. We’re not going to post images from either campaign here, but one is a pixel-advertising project in which you buy ad space on the floors of a virtual World Trade Center. The other campaign, posted on Ads of the World, includes what may be the most offensive print ad of the year, also involving the World Trade Center, and apparently created by M&C Saatchi in India.
