I give them permission to make one 9/11 joke.
My apology on this matter is scheduled for the same press conference where Japan apologizes for what Imperial Japan did.
They’re in it too deep now. It’d be weird to suddenly apologize for events that happened 80 years ago, even though they should.

Twitter user @mankodaisuki58 replied to the apology with a picture of Barbie sitting on the shoulders of Osama Bin Laden in front of burning buildings in the same style as one of the original posts. It is captioned “visiting the places from movie scenes” in Japanese and “It’s going to be a summer to remember” in English.
