Maybe I'm just too sensitive...

But this has to be one of the worst exercises in poor taste that I've ever seen. It's called the "Titanic Adventure Slide." Come on, kids! Slide down the ship's deck just like the real people who really died!

I saw this thing at a mall, with kids playing on it, and I felt like I was the ONLY person who was appalled. What are people thinking making a plaything like that?!

That is quite possibly the most bizarrely insensitive thing I've ever seen in my life. Do these people have no sense of decency and respect?

This is the equivalent of somebody, in 100 years time, making a World Trade Centre ride, or a London Bus Bomb ride. An extreme comparison, maybe, but it's somebody making a spectacle out of a tragedy.

it's exactly the same thing - it's like a WTC abseiling ride...

Yup. And the sad thing is that I can imagine something like that being made, many many years down the line.

I feel much older than 30 when I say this, but what on earth is the world coming to?

A lot more removed in time, but there's at least one and probably more amusement park ride named for Pompeii....
