Included in actual email I got this morning from an actual company I've actually bought things from, and this is actually for sale:  |

Uh. Also, it's the actual, literal 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. This goes way beyond questionable taste.

Bad taste, and stupid. Why would a pilot whose sole job is to crash a plane into something need a Type 100 submachine gun and a Nambu? Also stupid to tie it in with Pearl Harbor, since kamikaze attacks didn't really begin until late 1944.

What next, a Lego model of the USS St. Lo complete with sailors on fire and holes in the deck? |

I feel the need to point out that this is not an actual Lego product but rather a 3rd-party company that makes military-related stuff for Lego hobbyists who are into that.

That company makes Nazi Legos too, right?

I've mainly bought fantasy stuff from them; they make really cool demon/dragon stuff like this:  I don't really get the appeal of the realistic military stuff, personally, but give me some lego grapes and I'm happy.  |

To be fair I once had a Lego Dresden set.
It was just a regular set with all the pieces strewn about the room

There's also a knock-off Lego concentration camp kit.

Wait that's kinda ridiculous. Everyone knows hamburger and (for the most part) bologna are made from beef. |

I am unable to believe this is real and not some mockup someone made as a joke. Could anyone be this profoundly stupid on accident? |

Someday there will be a sweeping 3-hour romance set amidst 9/11. We have between 61 (Gone With the Wind) and 70 (Titanic) years.
Oh God, we're coming up on a sweeping Holocaust romance, aren't we?

Although I haven't seen either of them, Enemies, A Love Story came out in 1989 and didn't the original Judgement At Nuremberg (1961) have a sub-plot about to mental defectives falling in love? And although it's not a romance per se, in Sunshine (1999) one of Ralph Fienes' character's foolish pride gets him, his wife (Molly Parker) and SIL he's having an affair with (Rachel Weisz) all killed. I did see that last film on a plane. It's good, but yeah, kinda depressing. |

We’ve already had Pearl Harbor! I’d be surprised if a sweeping, in-terrible-taste Holocaust romance didn’t already exist—I’m 100% certain it does in paperback form. |

I hate that I even know this, but there have been romance novels set during the Holocaust that feature concentration camp inmates falling in love with their Nazi guards. So. Yeah. |

It is that perfect style of oblivious that marks it as real Corporate America. Like, it's either real, or comes from a scene on "The Office". |
