Controversial Spaghettios

Forums:

I never realized there could be controversy over spaghettios. 

 

Pearl Harbor tweetEdit On December 7, 2013, the 72nd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, SpaghettiOs' Twitter account posted a picture of a smiling cartoon SpaghettiO holding a United States flag, captioned "Take a moment to remember #PearlHarbor with us." The posting was met with criticism by users, who found the tweet to be disrespectful to those who were affected by the attack. The post also quickly spawned parodies, as other users, such as comedian Patton Oswalt, edited the cartoon SpaghettiO into photos of other national tragedies such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, 9/11, the Hindenburg disaster, the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, and the sinking of the Titanic. SpaghettiOs' quickly removed the tweet in question, and apologized for any offense it may have caused.

Moebius circular illusions with tiny animal parts mushed together called a meatball.

 

 

Even 72 years later, using Pearl Harbor to sell canned food is still in bad taste.  That being said, I used to throw "I Got Bombed on Pearl Harbor Day" parties on each Dec. 7.
