At 15 seconds long, this amateur video with minimal commentary is the funniest 9/11 tribute I have ever seen. I tried to find if this was already shared on the site, but couldn't find it.

      that would be incredible. just falling out like jumpers.

      other cool idea would be if they were custom made smokers with brisket, like Carolina style. then it couldn't be called tasteless.

      it honestly feels like the group of CHUDs who made it are all complete imbeciles +1 guy who started riffing a bit during planning/construction and nobody had the brains to notice they were being fucked with.

      like if they weren't emitting smoke, you might be able to convince me that some earnest fools made this. adding the special effects is what makes it like an Eric Andre bit.

        "hey guys, guys! what if we rig it so that every so often a few small action figures jump from the top of the smoking buildings in a futile attempt to escape their tragic demise?"

      9/11 Brazilian Carnival. All the samba clubs compete for the best depiction of the terrorist attack.

      how about like dancers around the smoking towers, but they are dressed in airplane and cannabis lead costumes and the smoke is from burning CBD flower?

      currently taking suggestions on music.

      2025, in a narration for a Ford commercial: The day those towers fell, we knew we had to do the same to our prices for our all-American customers for our annual 9/11 holiday celebration

      I think 9/11 will eventually represent the start of the Christmas shopping season, and the Lin Manuel Miranda musical we all watch on Disney+ will be titled:

      Never Forget to Remember the Reason for the Season: A 9/11 Christmas

      We can't have 1/6 be a holiday because it would force too many people to relive the trauma.

    At first glance I thought this meant Valparaiso, Chile and was even more confused about an Allende connection
