Interpreting 9/11 commemorative Afghan carpets (2011)
These sort of artifacts are fascinating. It reminds me of a t-shirt I saw a man wearing in Thailand in 2012. I was in rural Isan and spotted a Thai man wearing a t-shirt with an image of the falling towers, above the towers were portraits of Bush and Bin Laden with text like "Bush VS Bin Laden".<p>I never saw a copy of this shirt again in Thailand (which was strange because Bangkok has many, many t-shirt stalls filled with shirts that would be controversial in the west). I googled it and discovered that there were actually many variations on this shirt[0], but I never saw the same design as the one the man was wearing.<p>Weirdly, this mystery was sorta solved for me this year. A Rudy Giuliani parody account I follow on Instagram posted an image of this controversial handheld game: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laden_VS_USA" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laden_VS_USA</a><p>The image featured on the game is the exact same one I saw on the shirt. And yes, several people on YouTube have acquired and played copies of this game: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XNJM_Kamyg&t=142s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XNJM_Kamyg&t=142s</a><p>[0] <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=bin+laden+vs+bush+shirt&tbm=isch" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=bin+laden+vs+bush+shirt&tbm=...</a>
