did tide already do a "these colors don't run" marketing campaign

Tide did a really tasteless campaign like that before the emancipation proclamation.

The school didn't tell us what was happening, so when I got home after being picked up and saw a building collapsing, I laughed. I thought it was a cool demolition thing.

I got grounded for that

loving rude. I remember parents/teachers being really frustrated that we didn't all instantly understand what a tragedy it was, as if a bunch of little kids should just psychically understand what the hell was going on/what it meant.

I'm so thankful my parents are America-hating commies who actually explained poo poo to me instead of punishing, and can appreciate a good 9/11 joke.

if your parents are so smart why didn't they tell you that it was an inside job by the boeing corporation to test whether or not jet fuel could melt steel beams

I recall making jokes about the NY housing market crashing. Now I feel really bad about that, because those jokes would be so much more topical 6 years later.

I was 13 so I understood more than a wimpy 1990s baby.

But my image of "terrorists" at the time was heavily skewed by Counter-Strike (1.3, suckas!).

I was in high school and used it a few days later to do a report that I hadn't started working on yet, basically I just played a video from the news and then spoke for like 2 minutes about it

Thanks Osama

I was on a school backpacking trip that week and none of the students were told about it (somehow the teachers found out) until we made it back to the bus on the 14th.

Pretty good: Apr 16, 2007

9/11 happened a little while before I turned 11. They banned TV in the common room for like a month and a half afterwards bc one of the other boarding kids had family in NYC (?????) and I remember being frothing pissed about it because it was right in the middle of a rerun of the Frieza saga.

I was about ten which means we were just old enough for my entire grade to be forced into learning and performing Lee Greenwoods God Bless the USA in front of various crowds of people.. my favorite part was how we would sit down in the middle of the song and when Lee would sing "STAND UP" we would all stand up together it was great

a dog from hell: Oct 18, 2009; by zen death robot

I was 6. I came home and my mom was nervously watching the television. TVs were smaller back then.

I remember seeing the burning towers, knowing it was bad, and that was about it.

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Cat Army Sworn Enemy

I was 13, in my 7th grade Social Studies class.

Another teacher came in and told my teacher what happened by whispering in her ear. She refused to tell us what happened saying "it's not important" even though we could see a giant plume of black smoke drifting by the window. Some of the other classrooms had windows facing the towers and the kids saw the whole thing happen so I don't know why she thought we wouldn't find out.

gently caress you Ms. G.
