What's the difference between a cow and 9/11

You'd stop milking a cow after 23 years

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

That is a funny joke, and it'll continue to be funny for the next 500 years (if right-wingers get their way).

The Marriott logo looks like two towers falling over with smoke coming out…

[–] cheddar 72 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This is how towers would go down if they didn't collapse straight down due to the explosives planted by Obama.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Whatever. You can't plant explosives on holograms!

Jet fuel can't melt light beams!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Not with that attitude

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What if it's very hard light?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Then it can probably switch between arc, solar, and void.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

Did Obama have to water them daily so they could grow to be nice and strong?

It takes a tragedy anniversary now to get complimentary breakfast? Wow.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What do you think this is, a La Quinta?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Wasn't La Quinta responsible? /S

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Al’Quinta

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Underrated pun right here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Which is why they provide free scones for 45 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Not even that. Only half an hour. Hope you wake up on time!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

La Quinta: Spanish for “next to Denny’s”

A Mitch Hedberg joke but also a really smart part of their business plan!

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago (2 children)

A 30 minute window for food seems weird, then I checked the article about 9/11 - it’s roughly the same times the first and second tower were struck (8:46 AM & 9:03 AM).

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Still weird, trashy, and offensive. How could they possibly think this was a good idea? Putting out things like muffins and other breakfast stuff is standard at any decent hotel, trying to make it into some sort of complimentary muffin tribute though? Wtf Marriott?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Are you convinced this is real? Are there any other reports of this?

edit: oh what the fuck!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

a paper sign with Marriott hotel logo resting next to a photo of muffins of indeterminate — but possibly blueberry — persuasion.

Someone had fun writing that article.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The fun thing is at the Marriott you have to pay for the muffins and breakfast separately!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Somehow it would've not been offensive if the deal lasted all day. If it only counts during the window of time where people were dying in mass, that's unnecessarily fucked up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Somebody above linked the article but the explanation was that people gathered in the lobby around that time on 9/11 to watch the ceremony in previous years, so they brought out muffins for those people.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Then at lunchtime go to Subway for the Subtember 11th footlong sale.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where $5 foot longs are now on sale for $11.99, and still aren’t a foot long.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They're not a foot long. They're a Footlong^TM .

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Like Oreos

“Double Stuf”

Tested it for a project back in the day - they weren’t double 😱

Next, you'll be telling me synthetic motor oil isn't synthetic.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I laughed. Am I going to hell? Or is it Mariott that's going to hell...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Marriott in hell has your room reserved

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

"Believe it or not, straight to hell."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nah. Truth is stranger than satirical fiction. My comment was stolen from a very famous article from The Onion back in 2013. https://theonion.com/new-subway-promotion-to-honor-subtember-11-1819575535/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Ahhh of course it was the Onion

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Damn. 23 years later, and dumb shit like this still triggers me.

The Marriott logo kinda looks like two towers falling over.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

A Marriott hotel was literally destroyed in 9/11 too.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriott_World_Trade_Center

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

I've always assumed this was faked, but based on this article, it really happened.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

For just 30 minutes, no less???

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

Yeah, why not just 11 minutes surrounding 9am? :-P

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Yes, grief has to have limits otherwise it's not healthy. You have to get over your loss and continue your life after 30min.
