"Normally when you had been at home and returned to New York you left things here and there for me to pick up later. The last time you only left a pair of used socks on the floor. I did not have time to wash them before 9/11. I still have not and I never will. I smell them every day and they smell of you David. I am so afraid that your smell will vanish. I can see the shape of your feet in the socks. There are some tiny spots of dirt on the outside, and inside I can see tiny pieces of skin, which have come from your feet.

Terrorism must be rooted out. In order to defeat the adversary, our enemy has to be identified. Despite our differences, all people must have an equal say in world affairs. Democracy will only prevail after its opponents have engaged in dialogue. When everyone is incorporated into the global community, we will share common goals and joint responsibilities. That is how human dignity will be upheld and open society safeguarded. We all must be pro-active in preventing the next terrorist attack. I will not let up in the struggle to promote an open, democratic society.

6 Years Later and we still have not forgotten. David and Lynn you will never be forgotten. I love you both so much and want to thank you for a gift you both gave me. You gave me the gift of strength. I some times feel like I am loosing it all and I look at a picture of my two Angells and thank God for you both.

Say hey GB (Good buddy Lynn),
It has been 5 years now since you and Dave have been gone. I still have a hard time conceiving the notion we will not see each other again on this earth. I take solace in knowing that two of the best "Angell's" are watching over us all. I feel your spirit around me so many times. Memories of our friendship while I was just a snotty teen and you were my GB flood my mind today. As we used to say everything is going to be 5, 5, 5 "fine" right?
I love you both!

David and Lynn Angell are the two funniest people in the universe. I never met them personally, but every Tuesday night at 9 pm on NBC I would get my dose of David Angell and his irreplaceable humor and wit. Mr. Angell is a true insperation to me. I was struggling in college at that time with what I wanted to. I was a theater major but had no real direction. After I learned of the attacks in NYC, Washington D.C., and Shanksville PA, I was (not to be funny) touched or guided my guardian Angells named David and Lynn. I started to take a real intrest in screenwriting. Mr. Angell and his wife Lynn are the most beautiful people in the world in the truest sense of the word. This also applies to all of the heros on the planes and in the towers and in PA. Mr. Angell and his wife Lynn were Angells on Earth and on September 11, 2001 at 8:46 am in NYC (ironically back on the East Cost) ,( Mr. Angell said he would move back to Cape Cod , when he was finally taken in by the Hollywood community), he and his wife moved on to their Heavnly reward on the East Cost. The Angells are blessed Angells in Heaven and every time the sun is out or the rain comes down The Angells (David and Lynn) are smiling (sun) or crying(rain). Every time there is a rainbow in the sky that is also The Angells putting there artistic flair into our otherwise dull lives. Thank you both David and Lynn for being... Well just for being. GOD BLESS.

So - (just to stay with the 'angel-talk') - would you say that the tributes to "David Angell" (for instance) represent 'a facsimile of something real' ? Do you really have such an abysmally low consideration of average human beings? Do you personally know many people that are so painfully idiotic as to throw 'angel-puns' into an obituary tribute to someone called Angell? Do you also know many people who would, year after year, wish "happy birthday" to a dead man - sometimes even on the wrong date? I fail to see what sort of 'legitimacy' or 'normalcy' you are seemingly attempting to confer to this contemptible tripe:

Undoubtedly, we will now be constantly offered online memorials to any sort of tragedy featuring crass, stereotyped tributes to 'get acccustomed to the fact' that this is really, in fact, the pathetic level of popular expression. The crass memorial tributes of 9/11 - riddled with 'angels', 'infectious smiles', and 'I-didn't-know-you-but-I-really-care' statements are now scheduled to be subconsciously imprinted in our minds as acceptable absurdities for uncritical consumption.

If you check the exif data on the fake memorials pictures you will see that they all have been through Photoshop and all have been downsampled. Another indicator that they have been manipulated is that they have no information on the camera model, time , date or exposure etc. This is because when the ‘Save for web’ option is used in <b>Photoshop</b> that information is lost. Up load a photo that has not been in Photoshop to http://exifdata.com/ and you will get camera model, date, exposure etc.

I'll gladly show you otherwise. It's certainly not only about the "angel-talk", Oz - and you bloody well know it. I dearly hope you won't contend that most 9/11 tributes are written by semi-literate teenagers. Let me remind you that the countless victim profiles (supposedly redacted by professional career journalists - Tony De Palma et al) amount for the silliest shite ever to be produced in the history of journalism. So, let this be said: the cretinous 9/11 prose is not limited to the private, "family-member tributes". It is pervasive and ubiquitous - to such a degree as to trigger howling fits of laughter. Too bad this is an all-too-serious matter.
These are sad times for me, Ozzy, as I used to enjoy your literary verve and irreverent ways. You have either completely lost it and should take a long vacation - or you've been drafted to hug up to - and ultimately undermine and discredit this research from 'within'. It's either the one or the other.
It seems my recently expressed intuitions are turning out to be correct. Someone had to take the dirty job to "come to the rescue" of whatever microscopic credibility the memorial tributes may still have had - in the eyes of the feebly educated, the cognitively impaired or the terminally gullible. It appears to be a role assigned to you. Very sad, indeed.
*****************************************************************
To raise our spirits, let me submit just a sample of the ignominously stupid sort of tripe to be found - almost invariably - in the online tributes and elsewhere. It is supposedly written by Britt Ehnar, the alleged mourning mother of the lone Swedish 9/11 vicsim "David Tengelin":
"Normally when you had been at home and returned to New York you left things here and there for me to pick up later. The last time you only left a pair of used socks on the floor. I did not have time to wash them before 9/11. I still have not and I never will. I smell them every day and they smell of you David. I am so afraid that your smell will vanish. I can see the shape of your feet in the socks. There are some tiny spots of dirt on the outside, and inside I can see tiny pieces of skin, which have come from your feet. This is all I have left of you. I do not usually like the smell of used socks, but these mean everything to me. They contain the last scent you left behind."
I love you,
Mom
See, Ozzy - no angels there. It's about socks. And they stink to High Heaven. <_<

What are you complaining about? I have offered my condolences to you for your cousin's terrible demise. At the same time, I'm fully entitled to be concerned about that tragic event - and so are you. Does it not occur to you, for instance, that it might be a Mafia-style warning targeted at your persona? In Sicily, it's a well-known practice of the Mafia to kill a family member of someone who opposes their clan. If I were you, I would collect every possible information about your cousin's murder and publish it online. What keeps you from doing just that?
On the other hand, I believe you are just conning us all.
The odds of this occurence are pretty astronomical
