You are not going to believe this. Only government would come up with something like this ....
FEMA has caught a lot of flack for creating a coloring book for children. The coloring book was supposed to inform children about disaster-preparedness. So there are pictures to color of various disasters - hurricanes, floods, etc. Then you come to a page where there is a picture of the World Trade Center twin towers. One of the towers has fire coming out of it while an airplane is shown heading toward the other tower. Download a pdf of the whole thing here.
Isn't this great! Give our children some crayons and a nice picture of the a plane running into the World Trade Center to color! Did they put any bodies falling to the streets below in the picture? Well ... probably too small to color. Maybe they could have put that in an insert.
Folks, this has to be a joke. I can't believe that someone would actually think that this is a good idea. Then again, we are dealing with FEMA employees, so maybe my expressions of surprise are absurd.
