The Worst People On Twitter, 9/11 Edition [UPDATED]
by Ed Zitron
Normal human beings would know that it is crass and disgusting to try and take advantage of any tragedy. However, there're people on social media who either A) don't care or B) don't have the self-awareness to not tie their product or service to, for example, September 11th.
Thanks to intrepid Twitter user and DevOps thought leader Jon Hendren, we can all see just how awful the world is, live on social media.

SEXY UPDATE!
Reader and person-with-the-best-name-ever Constantine Von Hoffman sent in an ADDITIONAL terrible tweet from sexy toy manufacturer Fleshlight.
While hardly as bad as profiteering off of September 11th, there is really no reason for Fleshlight to break its rich tapestry of "we make a thing to put your penis in" to remind us of September 11th. It seems mercenary.
Today is 13th anniversary of 9/11. We remember those lost, & honor those still fighting for freedom. #911NeverForget pic.twitter.com/W0yFU73L7V
