Powerpuff girls was awesome. So was Dexter. And it wasn't really aimed at 6 years old, as far as I can tell. It had appeal to a larger crowd. Like Invader Zim had appeal to kiddies and grown-up alike. Aaaah nostalgia...

It also marked a certain period in americanime, which Panty & Stockings with Garterbelt awesomely put straight in the Adult zone...

Actually there was a powerpuff girls marathon on the other day....and it was excellent

One area that I think is important to distinguish is actually memorabilia vs a memorial.

I am perfectly fine with people having a memorial and a ceremony to remember. It is important for people that were affected by it and to remember the past and apply it to our future.

Memorabilia that profits of a tragedy just ticks me off. As it gets closer we will see the return of "special commemorative coins (limited edition), plates, t-shirts, etc...". There are a few that are worthwhile (as a former firefighter I usually support charities or fundraisers that support the families of firefighters affected by it), but for the most part it is just people profiteering of the attacks IMO.

Aye the coin sell irks me since it plays so close to being a official coin which its not. The fact it doesn't say from the US Mint Dept but hinted heavily

This whole thread smells like blame the victim.
