This 9/11 Cheese Plate May Be The 9/11 Museum's Most Tasteless Souvenir

[center][/center]

Setting aside the question of whether a reporter can ask a question at the 9/11 Museum (short answer: she can't!), let us tackle another timely inquiry: Just how crass is the 9/11 Museum's gift shop?

The Post previously detailed some of the items, like a "Darkness Hoodie" and "Survivor Tree" earrings. But they forgot to mention the 9/11 cheese plate.

The cheese plate is in the shape of the continental U.S., with hearts where the attacks hit NYC, DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Because no cheese course is complete without a moment to "Never forget" (to take our Lactaid). Let's roll... that wheel of cheddar to Freedomtown?

T-A-C-K-Y

In fact, that whole concept of a "museum" is tacky as well. Especially since one has to pay for admission.

The memorial, OTOH, is the better place to visit, and it's FREE.
