A lot of Americans will hate this. I’d think terrorists would hate it even more – if Americans in bars can joke around like this, the terror has worn off on them.

For marketing purposes… well, let’s see how many comments it generates. The bar isn’t a big brand. They can risk negative media to promote their edgy image. As long as it’s not sensitive enough to majorly piss off Chinese people that is. So I’ll say they’ll profit from this publicity effort.

The overall idea is terrible and obviously in poor taste, but what’s mostly wrong and even more inaccurate with this event, is that for the simple fact that “Muslim Terrorists” don’t attend parties!!! And if they do; girls and booze are not in the house! Only a bunch of knobs and wankers.

Wow, I’m going to say that leans towards the bad taste side. There is a right way to satirically joke about 9/11 (maybe the Onion has done it a few times) but this is just being offensive for the sake of offensive. Welcome to the Chinese club scene.

Good publicity or not, I appreciate the Nanfang sharing this and they have to identify the bar.

And who were those asshole foreigner models playing along?

You know… I’m down with this. I think it could be fun.
I would invite a bunch of hot girls… or maybe a bunch of working girls… and have them wear burkhas and nothing else. Get a game of “find the suicide bomber” where we have to figure out which girl has the bomb… if guess correctly guy has to go inside the burkha to diffuse.
OK. Imagination is getting carried away.
On a more serious note… I really am OK with this. After all, the memory of 9/11 is already exploited for all sorts of stupid purposes, including:
-selling SWAT equipment to rural towns
-spying on US citizens
-creating wars all over the world
-fear-mongering to fund a military budget significantly larger than what was spent to face off against the Soviet Union.
In light of this, 9/11 does not have any “sanctity” left. It was an event created to use fear to manipulate people , and it continues to manipulate people at using fear. So why not use the event to promote drinking and raunchy sex with women wearing burkhas?

Lol funny seeing all the people with panties in a bundle over this. You people ever hear of satire or Halloween? Thank god you won’t ‘patron’ this bar – you’d be about as fun as a wet blanket to party with.

That’s china for ya….bad taste for sure.

People do this every year to Native Americans, it’s called Thanksgiving

Extremely bad taste!! The westerners that are in the pictures are an example of the trash that is commonly recruited from the west to work in the Asian EFL industry. In regards to that I would like to quote a comment of a friend of mine that has been a Foreigner English teacher in China for a while:

“All of us who work in the EFL industry and take our jobs seriously should be concerned about this behaviour because it reflects negatively on us. Ordinary Chinese people returning home from work who see a drunken foreigner smashing empty bottles on the street, as I have heard foreigners in China brag about doing, tend to generalize and believe that ALL foreign teachers are little more than drunken clowns.”

As an American teaching in China shames me the poor and trashy behaviour of most young westerners that come to China not to teach but just to get drunk, date Chinese girls and have fun in general. Where are the ethics of our good western civilization that we like to brag so much? How can we call ourselves “civilized” when our behaviour in countries like China is so beastly? This “party” was not fun! It was un-moral and disrespectfully.

As for the Chinese participating in this disgraceful party perhaps a lesson in empathy is needed, how would you feel if someone in America held a “Rape of Nanjing party” which featured party goers dressed in Japanese Uniforms shooting others dressed as Chinese civilians.
