There was an event called Demowall on a bar in the city today. They showed a bunch of different demos form different platforms and times in a place and for an audience that might not visit the average demo-parties. That one stuck to my mind because it was something completely different and had awesome music.
I can't tell if this is awesome or awful. It seems that it was made non-ironically, which would make it awful, but artist's intent is irrelevant, thus making it awesome. I need to go contemplate this.

I don't see why.
I have a problem with turning an act of terrorism into a children's coloring book. It would be like making one out of the Iran Hostage Crisis or Vietnam, though those are far enough from political relevance and the mind of the zeitgeist that I wouldn't be so disturbed as amused. This comes across as turning the death of 3000 people into something as real as a fairy tale. Also, their picture of Bush looks nothing like him.

Are the founding fathers in there to so the acts of terrorism the commited against the British?
I think a man shooting another man is not really an appropriate thing to have in a coloring book if it was intended for the typical coloring book age range. Seriously, are you going to give this to a kindergartener? It would be less screwed up to give them a coloring book of full of tits, because babies like and understand those.
The Boston Tea Party could be considered an act of terrorism.
I would say that it was less terror, and more like vandalism. The objective wasn't to strike fear, it was to piss off.
It was an act of sabotage by a non-state actor (a group called the Sons of Liberty) designed, by its symbolism, to draw attention to a political cause.

I wouldn't compare the tea party to 9/11, as no lives were taken in the former, but between that and all the tar-and-feathering that was going on, I'll call the sons of liberty terrorists. EDIT: Also, anyone who calls them patriots is -- I will say -- objectively wrong. Patriotism is being proud of ones country (at the very least) and the country they were proud of didn't exist at the time. The patriots were the loyalists whose lives were ruined by the previously mentioned tar-and-feathering (seriously Sam, what the fuck.)
Here is pretty fun chess based challenge in which you play a regular arrangement of pieces against 4 rows of pawns with the intention of taking all 32 before they checkmate your king or run out of legal moves.
My strategy was to make an aisle through which to send my queen to the back row and then massacre those fuckers.

This one's for you GoldenDave MD Hoagie.
Cause seriously, what the hell kind of rifle is that supposed to be? It has a box magazine, FOR A MACHINEGUN!
And is that a cowboy hat that the soldier is wearing? What kind of soldier wears a cowboy hat when they're going in to kill terrorists?
Whomever created this definitely did not do their homework. For shame, 9/11 coloring book creator, for shame.
