Normally I'm not that sensitive to things like this, but am I the only one who thinks its too soon? Especially since the directors making the films are crap?

.... The film is likely to offend just about everyone with its premise....
 
Can't be all bad.

This should probably go in the current affairs section

The film looks bad but, I don't buy the "people will be offended" thing. If they are to be offended, they should just not go and watch it. People affected by 9/11 will not be more offended by that than by a bunch of idiots saying that the US government did the job. Anyway, people who have been in the concentration camps are still offended when bad films are made about the subject. How long one has to wait for the healing to take place? 50, 100, 200 years?

I think that its until the generation that suffered it has passed on and so out attachment to it subsides. Its happening more and more with WWII.

This movie looks funny as hell. I enjoyed the last Harold and Kumar movie

Harold & Kumar should be funny but the others hit too close too soon for me and alot of other Americans as well. In addition the others are just in bad taste in my opinion.

I have a hunch "Zombie Strippers" will rake in more money then all the other movies combined, for the obvious reasons of course!
