People need to move on, 9/11 is now an important part of US history, its obvious that comparison's will be made, people just can't let themselves be so sensitive on the subject anymore.

This is practically an issue of "Too Soon?", and no, it isn't.

It was a fair, logical comparison and people need to suck it up and stop over reacting IMO.

That's remarkably callous.

Many people's sons died in it. Should they not feel sensitive if it was joked about?

Although, the reaction is a bit over-the-top, people shouldn't stop caring.
