I see nothing but the silhouette of city in art deco.

People need to stop looking for reasons to get offended.

so nowhere else in the world is there allowed to be two buildings standing side by side anymore.  Oh no, that might offend someone!!!!  Get over yourself.

I see absolutely no obvious "twin towers" in that scene. I suppose you could find it, if you were looking specifically for that.

But I could also find clown balloons, the Star in the East, and a cry of existential angst, if those were things I was wanting to see.

I see with the plane that is centered and up just slightly above the level of the 2 buildings where someone could extrapolate whatever imagery they wish...

actually if you look at the tower on the left there is a explosion like symbol on it, when all the other symbols are bubble like is glaringly obvious.
the low flying plane which is out of place in a city motif.

so yeah, there are a few references.

you forget the cordoba initiative and why it's named so.

celebration of a victory of this type is a very historically proven tactic of the muslim religion.

but this comment should lock this thread.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I think the can is actually an homage to Iceman. You can clearly see his ice slide heading into the city.

I am highly offended. Who the hell drinks Pepsi these days? I can just imagine that this is what elephant urine tastes like.

That aluminium can is probably too heavy a guage for making a tin foil hat.

Saunas are a standard business meeting in Nordic countries.  I loved meeting clients in Sweden and Finland, we'd all be in big towels in their sauna, and then beer and wine with lunch.

Yet another reason I prefer doing business in latin america. Strip Clubs are standard business meetings.
