Scottish Art Student Depicts 9/11
 
 
 EDINBURGH, Scotland - A soft sculpture of Mickey Mouse flying an airplane toward flaming, crying World Trade Center towers has caused a stir at a college art exhibit.
 Alan Bennie, a student of the Edinburgh College of Art, titled his work about the Sept. 11 terror attacks "Mickey's Taliban Adventures."

 Upon Reading Chapman's Homer in Selfridges
 Owe gie to me a shillin for some fags
 And I'll pay yer back on Thursday.

 I'm expecting a divvy from the
 Harpenden Building Society.

 Can I have £50 to mend the shed.
 Can I have Fifty pounds to mend the shed?
 I'm right on my Uppers.
 I can pay you back
 When I get this postal order from Australia
 Honestly.
 Hope the bladder trouble's getting better.
 Love, Ewen?

I like it.
 
 I think it is a great commentary on how much the attacks have become part of American culture and that people now cite and hear "nine-eleven" without even thinking of how horrendous that day actually was.
 
 Using the attacks as a reason for the invasion of Iraq makes more of a mockery of the attacks than this piece of art does.
