French Tree Huggers Make Light of 9/11

tree_hugger_french_911.jpg

If memory serves, after 9/11, wasn’t it the French who sort of dragged their feet and made things difficult for the countries trying to tally together against Bin Laden? If so, that might explain this ad for French tree hugger site Defi Pour La Terre which thought it would be witty to transform the image of two trees into the twin towers burning on that fateful day. All to somehow equate the value of a tree to the value of a human life.

We not sure any amount of time passed makes this sort of thing OK. Then again, we’re American. We knew people on Flight 93. The French? Well, perhaps they didn’t know anyone who died that day or just feel Americans can’t keep their hands out of other countries’ issues. While the latter may be true, mocking a world event such as 9/11, at least for now, is still in very bad taste. And the French are supposed to know about taste, right?
