“The Dark Knight” MySpace Backdrop… Eerily Similar to 9/11?


I was logging into MySpace to check messages, and as is the new standard at MySpace, I was greated with a different backdrop than I was yesterday. Lately, the themes have been upcoming movie releases. Currently (as of the time of this writing) the theme is “The Dark Knight”, the latest in the Batman movie series. While I don’t profess to know anything about the movie itself - I’m not really a comic fan - I can say what I did notice right away was that the theme on MySpace is eerily reminiscent of the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001.

I’m not speaking for anyone else here, and I am well aware that the general consensus is that 9/11 can now be used for entertainment purposes, but this is a bit disturbing to me. Anyone else have thoughts?

Agreed 100% - no matter how much time passes, there are some visuals that should never appear as “entertainment”
