Unbelievably Offensive Toy

I'm waiting to find out that this is just a horrible joke, but it seems L and M Imports of Miami sold a toy to Lisy Corporation, which in turn packaged the toy into bags of candy. Why is this noteworthy? Because the "toy" depicts a plane flying into the Twin Towers! Just in case there was any doubt, the maker of this thing included the number "9011" right under the towers. It takes pretty much to offend my cynical sensibilities, but this one takes it over the top. A U.S. based company selling a toy depicting one of our worst national tragedies?!? When contacted by reporters, the L and M Imports representative apparently didn't see it as offensive at all.
