In 1912, the ill-fated luxury cruise ship Titanic collided with an iceberg on its maiden voyage, ultimately leading to the death of over 1,500 passengers and crew.

It was one of the worst catastrophes of the modern age, and understandably, many regard the tragedy as being still too raw to be considered a subject that would be fit for commercialisation.

Enter Kmart Australia, which recently raised eyebrows with the introduction of a 'controversial' pen holder that apparently made light of the Titanic disaster.

The product in question features a mini Titanic and a mini iceberg floating around in some type of clear liquid. When the figurines are moved around, they constantly collide with each other, and it appears as if the Titanic meets its ill-fated end whenever it approaches the iceberg.

Adding to the suspicion and confusion of many was that the Kmart merchandise was released shortly after a submersible boat imploded on a trip to visit the seabed wreck of the Titanic just a few weeks ago, causing the tragic death of five passengers.

That prompted some people to compare the two misfortunes.

One Kmart shopper, who has shared footage of the pencil holder on social media, was equally left stunned.

'They did not! Good one, Kmart,' she wrote in the comments section beneath the post.

Her reaction was echoed by many who engaged in the conversation, one writing: 'Next it will be a submarine,' and another questioning, 'Now, where's the submarine?'

The Kmart product raises two crucial questions: What are the ethical consequences of commercialising a tragedy like the Titanic? How should we distinguish between paying tribute to an event or exploiting it?

Answering these questions is undoubtedly challenging, but it's important that a certain degree of sensitivity and respect is shown towards both the tragedy itself and the people impacted by it.

I too think that it's insensitive to start commercializing this tragedy. The relatives of these people who died would be very offended by this so called item. You would think that Kmart would have more common sense or that their marketing manager would think twice before buying this in the first place.

Yes, can see why you would think it’s insensitive but really, haven’t peeps got more to look at in the world of insensitivity than this?
I would worry more about putting flavoured condoms next to checkout in view of children & having to explain all that entails!!
Please let’s not forget big dept stores/supermarkets aren’t in it for their sensitivity or morals for that matter it’s all about money!! So all we can do is avoid the offending products!
And make sure we aren’t hypocrites when it comes to what we’re offended by!!?? It’s hard I know!!

So, it is ok for some to make a living from the dying in Titanic? But, God forbid, somebody else do it after a different incident! Both were accidents, not done just to make $!

 

[Suzanne rose]

I don't think it's bad , it's a great way to keep the memory of the titanic alive.
Really is there much difference between this and the Movie

As for the submarine that imploded, I think that is too raw and early but I think it was more for The Titanic and that folks was over 100 years ago .

 

[Vio Kot]

I think James Cameron made a roaring commercial success from his movie about the titanic, go figure if anyone else would want to. As for the submersible that imploded, that was a personal risk by the occupants that paid money to deep dive wanting to see the titanic, for what reason? For the commercial success of the owner and because the occupants could afford it. Money doesn't buy brains. If people want to take risks, go for it. But don't blame others for making money from a disaster, it happens all the time, just look at Covid, a lot of those sales weren't ethical.

 

[MariaG]

This why more people need to complain. Better still, DON'T BUY THE THINGS.
Kmart is not in business to be sensitive to the loss of 1500 souls. They are in in the the bottom line.
If we buy it, they will put it on the shelf. If we don't, I hope they sit there and gather dust.

 

[JKM_Storyteller]

I'm in two minds about this. It refers to an event that was over a century ago, and if this pencil holder gets kids asking questions, then maybe that's not a bad thing. What I call tasteless is the Subway signage that went up in the US within 24 hours of the OceanGate submersible remains being found. That sign read: Our subs don't implode. Extremely tasteless, given that the event was so very recent, and the discovery that those on board were irrefutably dead. The fact that they were rich and had forked out quarter of a million USD for their ill-fated adventure is neither here nor there. They were human beings, as mortal as the rest of us, and who were disposed to pursue activities that interested them. I am not going to sit here and condemn them because they were interested in visiting the site of a century old disaster that claimed the lives of so many people. To each their own.

The resulting outcry saw the Subway signs removed, but it --- and the condemnation directed at those who died in the Oceangate Titan, nonetheless exposes an unpleasant truth about mankind: we are capable of unimaginable cruelty towards our own kind, and an appalling lack of compassion for those among us who grieve and all because the dead were rich.

Well, I for one, yearn for the days that were harder financially, but were far kinder - and truly kinder - towards our fellow man.

GET OVER YOURSELF!! the titanic sank over a hundred years ago. It's not Kmart's fault some people chose to go in a untested experimental sub into a depth of water that is some of the deepest water on earth with not enough back up (not that it would have helped). Products are planned and made months ahead. IF you don't like it don't buy it!

So let's get rid of GI Joes , toy soldiers,

So let's get rid of GI Joes , toy soldiers,

Let me finish this I was interupted. Let's get rid of the framed photos of Australian Troops posing on a pyramid. This photo is popular because one of the soldiers is said to be dead and people want to see if they can find him. Let's get real , I find that to be of worse taste than a plastic pen holder . Tragedy makes money
Just ask the news media and funeral industry. Let's pick better battles.

More shite coming out of China, if the yankee owner of the Titanic hadn't of scrimped on the building there quite possibly would have a considerable more lives saved. AS far as any socalled artifacts being raised from the wreck is just out and out bloody grave robbing, and they should be called out for it. The same laws should apply with civilian wrecks as wiht naval vessels..

i think we need to get over being so precious about certain things. I would at a guess suggest that this item was produced well before the tragedy of the sub. As to that the people who went down with that had a choice alas they made the wrong one. the same goes for the titanic, people had the choice, again the wrong one. If we link every tragedy with something it will become just stupid.

I would imagine that the article was manufactured before the submarine tragedy and even possibly on the shelf BEFORE it was "spotted"?
