Controversy of the day

Mine's a Gin and Titanic

THESE ice cubes shaped like the Titanic and icebergs have been branded "sick" - because they urge drinkers to recreate the 1912 sea disaster which killed 1,522 people.

A cube-making kit called Gin and Titanic jokes: "Sink another round!"

Historian Brian Ticehurst said: "They are distasteful.

"How long will it be before they make ice cubes of the Twin Towers?"

US maker Fred and Friends called its cubes "functional and fun."

It said: "Somebody is always offended by something."

Like they say: tragedy + time = comedy.

Good grief, the Titanic sunk 100 years ago, move on....

i want those

Don't you dare.

Contracting your jaw muscles a certain way on frozen water will directly affect the rest of the world. Who gave you the right to chew? I didn't, so you can't do that.

If there are any Titanic survivors left and they object then it should be pulled.

The last one died a few months ago. Maybe they were waiting for her to kick off before marketing this.

I'm Chuck Norris. You have no say here.

It hasn't been 100 years yet, but I don't don't think "time" has anything to do with it. Pretty sure we won't be seeing Holocaust-themed ice cubes 30 years from now. "Good taste" doesn't have an expiration date.

Nah, getting upset about an ice cube is pretty lame and VERY drama queen / attention *****.

I'm not offended by the cubes. Just playing devil's advocate.

 

[Signals]

The Bum & Coke making kit should be a big hit.

I didn't ask for you to advocate for me.

I want to chew on that piece of ice. :laugh2:

As an aside, don't chew ice!

I had done so for years until I found out that I popped out a filling because the ice that I was chewing caused it to get really cold and break!

I'd find it offensive if little ice people were jumping out of it and ruining my cocktail.

Just pretend your drinking Mezcal and just drink them down like the worm! :laugh2:

With my weird sense of humor I'd be cracking up if that were part of it. :laugh2:

Maybe there aren't Ice Cubes of the Holocaust, but there are plenty of other joke/mockery type merchandise available. Yes, its' in bad taste, but if people find it amusing, who the hell am I to condemn them.

As far as Titantic survivors objecting? Why? People should *Not* have the right to "not be offended".

I'm not saying these are awesome, or they aren't in "bad taste". But come on people, please remove the sticks from your holy *****. Sometimes things happen that are offensive to you, ignore it and move on.
