Slide to an Icy Death?

I received one of the more up-front and, in a way, rather innocent spam emails recently. It was from CHINEE, China Inflatables Inc., and the subject line read “We got your info from your website,Hope coorperation.” (In their mangled-English sort of way, I think they meant “cooperation.”). The second product displayed was an inflatable slide where you slide down the deck of the sinking Titanic (shown at right). Is it just me, or is this perhaps in BAD TASTE? Would you want the sinking stern of the Titanic looming over YOUR company picnic? They even have another product which combines the Titanic stern with an iceberg-themed bounce-house that is titled “Tot-Tanic”! I know it's not PC, but sometimes you just have to think, “Hmmm... pretty inscrutable, those Chinese...”
