Walking around last night, I saw a tourist wearing a "9/11 Memorial" sweatshirt. Why does such a sweatshirt exist?

And why would you buy and wear it?

I was perturbed.

So they can show people that they've been there. - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 07:59 6
- I'm more bothered by the fact that the place sells the sweatshirt. - ty97 Apr 10, 08:01 1
  - silly ty, almighty dollar rules all. -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 08:02
- And it's far from the worst thing to come out of that gift shop, if I'm remembering the outcry when it first opened correctly. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 08:00 3

    - i didn't realize the unidentified body parts were literally below it. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 08:04
    - ugh -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 08:04
(to be clear, it appeared to be an 'official' souvenir sweatshirt from the 9/11 Memorial Museum) - ty97 Apr 10, 07:56 7
- I have to assume funds go to some sort of memorial fund. -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:57 6
  - More likely it just goes to the operating costs of the museum itself. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 07:58 5
    - I like my idea better. -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:59 4
      - Okay. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 08:00 3
        
        meaning, that I would have less of a problem with it if I knew it was going to a fund for families who lost people in it. -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 08:01 2
        
        Humm, maybe,after expenses, like $378,000 salary for the CEO of the foundation -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 10, 13:41
        
        Gotcha. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 08:02
