What’s the difference between a cow and 9/11
You’d stop milking a cow after 23 years
That is a funny joke, and it’ll continue to be funny for the next 500 years (if right-wingers get their way).
Damn. 23 years later, and dumb shit like this still triggers me.

A 30 minute window for food seems weird, then I checked the article about 9/11 - it’s roughly the same times the first and second tower were struck (8:46 AM & 9:03 AM).
Somehow it would’ve not been offensive if the deal lasted all day. If it only counts during the window of time where people were dying in mass, that’s unnecessarily fucked up.
Somebody above linked the article but the explanation was that people gathered in the lobby around that time on 9/11 to watch the ceremony in previous years, so they brought out muffins for those people.
Still weird, trashy, and offensive. How could they possibly think this was a good idea? Putting out things like muffins and other breakfast stuff is standard at any decent hotel, trying to make it into some sort of complimentary muffin tribute though? Wtf Marriott?
The fun thing is at the Marriott you have to pay for the muffins and breakfast separately!
Are you convinced this is real? Are there any other reports of this?
edit: oh what the fuck!
a paper sign with Marriott hotel logo resting next to a photo of muffins of indeterminate — but possibly blueberry — persuasion.
Someone had fun writing that article.

For just 30 minutes, no less???
Yeah, why not just 11 minutes surrounding 9am? :-P
Yes, grief has to have limits otherwise it’s not healthy. You have to get over your loss and continue your life after 30min.
I’ve always assumed this was faked, but based on this article, it really happened.
Then at lunchtime go to Subway for the Subtember 11th footlong sale.
I laughed. Am I going to hell? Or is it Mariott that’s going to hell…
The Marriott in hell has your room reserved
“Believe it or not, straight to hell.”
Nah. Truth is stranger than satirical fiction. My comment was stolen from a very famous article from The Onion back in 2013. https://theonion.com/new-subway-promotion-to-honor-subtember-11-1819575535/
Where $5 foot longs are now on sale for $11.99, and still aren’t a foot long.
They’re not a foot long. They’re a Footlong^TM .
Like Oreos
“Double Stuf”
Tested it for a project back in the day - they weren’t double 😱
Next, you’ll be telling me synthetic motor oil isn’t synthetic.
A Marriott hotel was literally destroyed in 9/11 too.
Wut?
And for a limited time only, get your freedom loving Red White and Blue muffins!
It takes a tragedy anniversary now to get complimentary breakfast? Wow.
What do you think this is, a La Quinta?
La Quinta: Spanish for “next to Denny’s”
A Mitch Hedberg joke but also a really smart part of their business plan!
Wasn’t La Quinta responsible? /S
Yes. Which is why they provide free scones for 45 minutes.
Not even that. Only half an hour. Hope you wake up on time!
Al’Quinta
Underrated pun right here
The Marriott logo looks like two towers falling over with smoke coming out…
ok dude
This is how towers would go down if they didn’t collapse straight down due to the explosives planted by Obama.
Did Obama have to water them daily so they could grow to be nice and strong?
Whatever. You can’t plant explosives on holograms!
Jet fuel can’t melt light beams!
What if it’s very hard light?
Then it can probably switch between arc, solar, and void.
Not with that attitude
The Marriott logo kinda looks like two towers falling over.
