So I was at work today, reading a copy of the local Business Journal, when I came upon a color advertising insert. It was from a company that provides stuff for companies throwing parties - tents, chairs, games of chance, etc. They also provide those inflatable ball crawls and slides and the like.
My eyes, of course, were instantly drawn to the inflatable slide IN THE SHAPE OF THE R.M.S. TITANIC.
And it's not even a case where you could say "It's not really the Titanic, it's just a random ship." They CALL it the "Titanic Slide" on their site. Yours for only $1,400 for four hours.
Does anyone else find this, well, gruesome? "Yeah, thousands of people died, horrible tragedy, but it'd be a fun slide, c'mon!" What's next? Concentration camp oven tanning beds? Duralogs in the shape of the Hindenburg? Sigh. World's going to hell in a handbasket, and it's all James Cameron's fault.
