The kitschification of 9/11

The chotchkes...

• The "official" Osama bin Laden voodoo doll.
• A memento for sale in many souvenir shops around the city.
• And another.
• A variation on the snowglobe theme. This actually came out before Sept. 11, it just seems a little creepy now--instead of snow, it's filled with little smiley faces and gold coins.
  
  

...and the postcards...

The souvenir shops in New York are full of these "commemorative" postcards. I find it a little disturbing to think of tourists sending these to the folks back home. Wish you were here...

• America's darkest moment
• Attack on Manhattan
• Attack on New York
• Pledge
• You never walk alone.
• Attack on Manhattan (alternate version)
