Atomic bomb earrings no longer available from museum store

Since we recently observed the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I have no idea how I missed the announcement that the National Atomic Museum in New Mexico has decided to stop selling Fat Man and Little Boy earrings.

"Where else will you find a pair of Fat Man and Little Boy earrings?" the museum website advertised. Nowhere else, thank goodness. After hearing those oh-so-sensitive Japanese people complain about them, museum officials decided not to order any additional atomic bomb jewelry.

How on earth could anyone have ever thought this was a clever idea? What kind of people bought the earrings?

Don't get too excited about the museum's sudden insight, however. You can still buy Fat Man and Little Boy shot glasses. No showing off your WMD on your earlobes, but a few drinks among friends, and it's bombs away.

They hate us for our freedom...
