On December 7, 2013, the 72nd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, SpaghettiOs' Twitter account posted a picture of a smiling cartoon SpaghettiO holding the U.S. flag and captioned, "Take a moment to remember #PearlHarbor with us." The posting was met with criticism by users, who found the tweet to be disrespectful to those who were affected by the attack. The post also quickly spawned parodies, as other users such as comedian Patton Oswalt edited the cartoon SpaghettiO into photos of other national tragedies such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, &lt;a href="9/11"&gt;9/11&lt;/a&gt;, the "Hindenburg" disaster, the Space Shuttle "Challenger" explosion, and the sinking of the "Titanic". SpaghettiOs quickly removed the tweet in question and apologized for any offense it may have caused.
