I became interested in the Titanic in the mid 80's, right before it was discovered, when my mom stumbled on a late showing of A Night To Remember. I read everything I could get my hands on about it, even had a paper I wrote about it for a history class go to a state competition in 8th grade.
I can't really put a finger on why this just sort of disgusts me, but it really does. I guess maybe it is the catering to the exact type of opulence and expenditure of money that was the undoing of the original ship, which after sinking brought an end to the so called "Gilded Age." The entire thing just seems to be an affront to the disaster, and ironically looks to be following in its exact footsteps. I wouldn't set foot on it, and I agree about the bad Karma. Something just isn't right about it.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool
