Guest JMT Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 WTF?-----------------------------------------------------POSTED: 4:43 pm EDT August 26, 2004ORLANDO, Fla. -- A bag of candy shocked a local grandmother and will most likely shock you. The toy inside looks like a plane flying right into the Twin Towers. Now, that toy is off some local store shelves because of our story.It doesn't stop there, though. That grandmother was surprised, again, when she read the numbers imprinted on the toy. Until Thursday afternoon, the little toys were on sale to kids around Central Florida -- two towers with a jetliner in between that appears to be crashing into one of the buildings. They come in packages along with candy.We talked to a grandmother who couldn't believe what she'd inadvertently bought for her grandson."It makes me angry," Anna Rodriguez says. "I was offended because I couldn't believe that someone would give something like that to a kid."When Rodriguez let her grandson pick out a bag of toys and candy, she never realized what was inside until her own son noticed the disturbing toy."[He said] look at the toy. I said, 'Let me see it,' and when I looked at it I was outraged. I was like, what? No way," Rodriguez says.She purchased the toy at a local grocery store. We found more packages still hanging on the candy rack. The storeowners were appalled when they saw what a distributor for Lisy Corporation, based in Miami, brought to their store. The store pulled the bags from the shelf Thursday.Rodriguez has pictures of the Twin Towers in her living room to remember the victims of 9/11. She says there is no mistake what the toy represents, especially when you look at the product number on every single toy: 9011."Everybody knows it's about the twin towers and it's nothing to be joking around about," says Rodriguez. She believes someone out there did it on purpose. "Whoever did this knew what they were doing, they definitely knew."A company called Lisy Corporation distributes the candy bags. They said they are also offended by the toy and have pulled 17,000 of the toys.Lisy says they bought the toys, sight unseen, from L and M Import/Export of Miami. We talked to L and M and they say they have no problem at all with the toy and don't consider it offensive at all.We even pointed out to the import company that every single toy has a stock number on the front that reads "9011." L and M Imports didn't find it all coincidental and said it's just a toy. Asked if they'd talk on camera, they said there is nothing to talk about.

Guest swirlundergrounder Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 That's a very weird toy..It's almost twisted in a way.....If 9/11 didn't happen lets say and this toy wasn't symbolic of anything wouldn't this make a very boring toy? You know how many frustrated kid's there would be? You couldn't fly the plane on it's own, you couldn't use the buildings seperate from it's base to place anywhere and you couldn't take the coffin and bury your GI Joe's or your Barbies in it....

Guest JMT Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 now this one comes out.MIAMI -- In Miami, a wholesaler has announced that his company will recall 14,000 bags of candy.The bags contain a toy that looks like a plane flying into a building and, we found, a second toy that looks like Osama Bin Laden suspended between the two buildings. Eyewitness News broke this story, but, for the first time, we had the chance to speak with a representative from the corporation that distributed the candy."Importers did not realize what they were buying. They were buying assortments of toys and they get to people like us trying to sell authentic Mexican candies. Nobody caught it and it went out into the stores," explains Lisy Corporation manager Luis Pardon.The manager of Lisy Corporation says the candy was originally purchased sight unseen, but now he'll send back all he's collected.
