Rememberance Day & BAe

Posters for this years Rememberance Day are sponsored by BAe.

The irony in this is wonderful - arms manufacturer supporting remeberance of war dead - but I also think it is a little on the distateful side.

Does their involvement devalue the whole basis of the day?

    It's very innapropriate.

    If it's solely for advertising purpouses then it's sick.

    It's a day for reflection on lives lost, and this is only going to cause offence.

    Give it a few years and we'll have September 11 Day sponsored by American Airlines. :rolleyes:

    And then there's BAe's new slogan, "Innovating for a safer world". Sure... :rolleyes:
