Memories Are Made of This

How about a Snoopy ceramic candy dish?

Even with today's high unemployment rates, I'm surprised more people aren't out of work. For instance, whoever was responsible for the following item on sale at the National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York, as described in today's Wall Street Journal:  "One gift-shop item in particular has raised hackles: a decorative ceramic platter in the shape of the U.S., with heart symbols marking the spots where the hijacked planes made impact on 9/11."

I can't help but wonder how the designer ever imagined it, or how the museum director approved it, and finally how the manufacturer produced it, without any of them wondering just what one would serve on it. Crudites? Hummus and pita? Hearts of palm? I also wonder if those people all still have their jobs.
