This just can't be a coincidence, not when every toy is stamped with a product number of 9011. But if it is, somehow, just an awful coincidence (evidently some toys have a man on a swing between the towers, and both the man and the airplane spin around on the axis that conects the buildings), surely someone in the company that made this thing should have noticed that it does look like a plane crashing into a building - one of twin buildings, in fact - and realized what event this little gizmo would evoke images of.

I'm almost positive it's just a weird coincidence. It doesnt look like the two towers, it doenst look like a real plane, it wouldnt simulate a real 911 event anyway with what it does, and i think the OP stated that there was a similar toy with man on it instead. Most likely, it's just a chance happening. Probably no one expected anyone to even associate it with 911, since, if you really look at it, it looks absolutely nothing like what happened or even what could happen.
Plus, c'mon, be reasonable...it's a cheep ass, half ass, broke ass toy in a candy bag. Somehow, i think terrorists/anarchist/whatever would have better ways to demoralize us than with cheep toys.
It's a non-issue now. The toys have all been pulled from the shelves.

And the numbers 9011 are stamped on it by coincindence? I think not.
I'm going to quote the SA forum goons on this one:

Come on, folks. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
And you realize that product numbers are generally issued by an automated system, right?

But all of them have that same product number. THAT can't be a cooincidence.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.
Oh for Chrissake... A monkey stands between two giant pink buildings and it's supposed to be Osama bin Laden? Jesus.

I guess you're right. Lots of monkeys wear turbans.

That's a turban? How can you tell with that shitty lo-rez picture?
