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

    You’d stop milking a cow after 23 years

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

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

    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).

      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?

          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.

      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.

        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.
