Is it just me or do others think its a bit early to start creating missions "With lots of eye candy and explosions" for FSX Haiti earthquake missions on the Haiti earthquake theme.

I imagine some of these missions will be awareness about the efforts going on there and come with good intentions, but the 'eye candy and explosions' makes it sound like they are trying to make a tragic event seem a bit Hollywood.

I don't currently download missions as it is. I'm sure some of these missions were made to mean well, but it is a bit early on.

I think the sentiment is empathy ..

Wouldn't we all (well most of us) like to be there trying in some way to help?

In my mind it's not a bad thing to simulate that.
