We built them too tall is the reason

Every year, at least one advertiser somewhere in the world is guaranteed to exploit the 9/11 attacks with a tasteless ad.

French newspaper Courrier International gets the “honor” this year with an ad suggesting that we could have avoided 9/11 if we’d simply built the twin towers a bit shorter. The ad shows two jets flying over a substantially shorter World Trade Center along with the headline, “Learn to anticipate.”

Anticipate, huh? From a French outfit, huh?

Maybe that Frog should've used the Maginot Line and the Ardennes Forest in May of 1940 as an example.

Yeah, anticipate.

Hell, 9-11-01 could have been a better day if we had bombed Saudi Arabia, Iran, pakistan Afghanistan and Iraq back to the stone ages. Granted they aint far from it. We could almost have done it with a fire cracker.
