This Week in… Inappropriate Party Decorations

September 18, 2007 – 8:37 am

Last night, USA Today celebrated their 25th anniversary by throwing a big shindig at Gotham Hall in Midtown. Among the spreads of food, party favors, and bars were six-foot-tall images of USA Today’s front page through the years, including this one:

Can’t quite make it out? Sorry, the room was quite dim. Let me show you the original front page:

Yes, nothing says, “LET’S PARTY!” like a photograph of hundreds of people dying.

But at least the food was good.

  3. At least it wasn’t that picture that was in all the papers of people falling out of the windows.
