Regretsy has posted a small gallery of regrettable 9-11 images, from mawkish glurge, to hamhanded PSAs, to offensive meme pollination, in The Mother of All 9-11 Posts.

Frex, this use of Precious Moments, in 1990s Geocities sparklevision:

• 9-11 refers to a terrorist attack on 11 September 2001, when militant Islamic organization al-Qā’ida ( القاعدة‎) hijacked and crashed passenger planes into the World Trade Center and The Pentagon.
• Precious Moments is a manufacturer of kitschy porcelain figurines, often featuring children or child angels, and related giftware.
• Geocities was a popular free Web hosting service. It shut down its North American operations in 2009.
