Too soon? Really? Plug gets pulled on Titanic drain stopper because it upsets members of Titanic survivor’s family

It’s been 100 years since the Titanic sank… isn’t 100 years plenty of time to turn a disaster into kitschy bathroom items? I think so. Some of the family members of people on the Titanic don’t think so and they got all whiny and bitchy about a company that made a Titanic bath stopper. Waaah.

Paladone, makers of the controversial bath plug Tubtanic, have issued a rather glib non-apology to relatives of Titanic victims who found the toy “distateful.”

“We’re sorry if anyone is offended,” said spokeswoman Fiona Parkinson. “It’s meant as a harmless novelty item.”

The plug, according to Paladone, allows users to “re-enact the famous sinking-ship scene in the comfort of your own bathtub!” Not impressed is 79-year-old Ron Williams, who lost his uncle to the unsinkable ship. “I think it’s terrible people are trying to make money from something that killed so many.”
