I find it utterly disrespectful. Degrading a great country, with prints and images of a horrific event. It is not so much the art, but rather the symbolism behind the image. "Japan got fucked, here is a cool image". Did we see 9-11 donation shirts of the towers falling? "Hey America got fucked, wear this around to show your sympathy" Why not show the beauty of the Japanese culture, ie their strength, honor and resilience? ffs. I remember on 9-11 people hanging the American flag off bridges, every bridge and overpass, it was every where. It was the American spirit. It was beautiful. There are a lot of beautiful things going on with Japan yet we have failed to capture that in the graphic community. Instead we have turned the beauty of helping and compassion into a "cool" Japan got fucked image contest.

- Agree. The imagery should be more in a positive direction rather then negative.redred
