Description
I know, I know. We've all had enough of 9/11. The media's totally killed it to death, talking about it and showing it over and over and over! Everyone exploited it and the last thing you wanna see is another sappy 9/11 tribute. I mean, it wasn't even THAT GOOD of a movie!What? September 11 WASN'T a movie? Bet you forgot huh. The fact is people, it was real, and it only happened 24 months ago. It's declaired the worst tragedy to ever happen on American soil, thousands and thousands of innocent people died. We all still remeber this right? These were real people, people. They all had thier favorite breakfast cereals (probably Lucky Charms, or Chex), television shows (Conan O'Brien?), and people who couldn't live without them. And now they have to. These people are gone for no good reason, and we all just wanna forget about it so soon after it's happened?
I'll admit that there should come a time when we let things pass and begin to heal as a country, but it's not that time yet. 9/11 set off a chain of events that are still changing and manipulating the world as we speak. America still has troops in other countries for reasons directly or indirectly related to 9/11. How can we ingore and try to forget something that's still needs our attention?
As we remember Pearl Harbor every year, as should we remember, if only briefly, September 11, 2001. My opinion.
This is art that ran with a story about what I just said.

i'm sorry, do you mean just Americans should think about Pear Harbour and September 11? Oh, and your right it has been manipualting the world after all this 'war on terror' $hit has just been an excuse to invade eastern countries and those that don't join in with the brutal assault are 'Cheese Eating Monkeys'(French) also doesn't it seem a bit strange too you that ages ago they detected a famous golfer's plane going off-course in 20 seconds? and with the 9/11 plane they couldn't even detect it going of course....can you smell that?? I can smell conspiracy.
whoops, i seem to have beaten around the bush(get it?) but my main point is you should celebrate other horrific distasters around the world(such as the invasion of Iraq killed 500,000 children) insted of remembering all that American tosh that is nothing compared to other disasters.
Peace Out

My birthday is September 11th. The only thing I was thinking was," Oh no! It's going to be the new Pearl Harbor Day!" (Which is expecially odd since I am still in high school). I mean, we act like it was so unexpected, and that it had never happened before. We acted like we were going to make sure it never happened again. Seriously, I think we are doing many things wrong. I personally would say that I am patriotic and stuff like that, but still, at it's current rate, I can only hope that America will last longer than it's problems do.

I reallyt liked this piece. Im trying to see more of what ppl have to say here on DA, im trying to return and i thought stuff with a message would tell me about the new ppl that have come( not incinuating you are new, i dunno)
i really like this piece. the pic is great and the words are true. take out the conan tho, on a personal tip i dont like him so that detracrted. I love the message. i find its funny ppl got annoyed that you were making a statement and said that we are being selfish and whatnot. you did a piece of art, you made a personal statement, thats it. and i like it!
weird....

*tips imaginary hat*
a valid point. i often find myself getting tired of all the "salutes to 9-11" because i'm constantly surrounded by people with flags plastered all over their cars and bodies with stickers along the lines of "america will kick your ass, you commie-natzis!!!"... and i get a little sick of that.
but you're absolutely right. gung-ho patriotism aside, what happened on september 11th was a terrible tragedy and does deserve a degree of rememberance. nicely done

Don't feel bad about making a tribute. Tragic events such as these should never be forgotton. You did make a very nice tribute.

I'm still fairly certain it was amovie.
I mean, it was on tv for such a long time.

It WASN'T a movie!? HOLY CRAP! NO WONDER IT WASN'T NOMINATED FOR ANY AWARDS!
But seriously, with the way the media operates, does anybody actually doubt that eventually WILL be a movie? Seriously. It would make a lot of money. I'll bet that within a few years, Hollywood turns September 11th into a hit movie, complete with obnoxious soundtrack and naked scene.
That's how much respect the event gets from the media.
Ooh! And don't forget the merchandise! Bumper stickers, little crying Uncle Sam lawn ornaments, heck, didn't they even make 9-11 trading cards?
It's sad when a tragedy that kills thousands of people gets exploited like September 11th has.
What was I talking about again? Oh yeah. The art. Nice hand. It looks pretty realistic, yet it's still blocky!
And kids! For just $29.99 You can be the envy of every kid on your block with you very own "Nine-Eleven Kevin!" (Batteries sold seperately)

Great message there, if there was only more people who dare to stand up and say how they feel about a situation like this.

Yeah, 9/11 has been crammed down our throats, but I understand that we should still remember it. It would be fine if the subject only came up on 9/11 every year, but the fact that they talk about it every week is a little annoying. This is a really good piece though. Good job with the tribute to it. I thought 9/11 was a movie too and Conan O' Brien kicks ass!

I love the picture, I couldn't figure it out at first but now I get it.
The description (or speech) was brilliant.
I'm feeling very emotional today because there's so much going on.
Two years since 9/11 and one of our ministers (my personal favourite) got murdered. The world is just weird.
On a brighter note, I love your art!

I like this, and that's saying something, because I was FAR from as emotional as others were by the event two years ago (I do think that it's terrible, and it, along with similar tragedies should not happen; I just don't get emotional about it), and I hated the flags on the cars and similar crap that doesn't really have meaning. But THIS has meaning, wihch you've conveyed in a very subtle manner, which is what I like best about it. Wonderful job!

Maybe one day, the US will show the world the same courtesy and remember some of their tragedies, as well.
Because quite frankly I'm getting sick and tired of being asked to remember one of the US's.

HAHA!
Good point halfnorn! The U.S. is sure good at feeling self-important.
Also, this piece is aimed more toward the people who live in the U.S. For those of you in other countries, mourn at your own accord.

Yup... And not just in America, the rest of the world too...
I remember me and my friends were stuck in front of the TV the whole day, following the whole thing live... We couldn't believe it was true at first, but...
Anyway, great work. And I'll add this to my favs.
