This Week in… Inappropriate Party Decorations

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.

    I suppose they could have been even more gauche. How about shrapnel as a party favor?

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