As bad as this is, just imagine: Somebody thought it up. Then somebody approved it. Then they had it printed up. Then they published it. That's just...incredible.

A Manassas, Virginia, country club was forced to apologize Tuesday — for its 9/11-themed food menu that included such tone-deaf items as a chocolate silk "Pentagon Pie," "2977 Chowder" and "First Responder Flatbread."

The special seafood menu was promoted by The Clubhouse at Aquia Harbour. The number 2,977 marks the official tally of fatalities on Sept. 11, 2001.

Diners looking for a taste of everything could order the "Never Forget Sampler."

Seriously...was there nobody working that day to just gently suggest, you know...

The poor fellow who authorized this travesty, meanwhile, seems to have gotten the message:

"My intention was to bring attention to that horrific day 21 years ago. To honor those who lost so much as well [as] those who gave everything that day," he maintained. "We will have a new theme tomorrow."

Yeah you can just imagine them scrambling to scrub the restaurant of any vestiges of their Sept. 11 celebration:

Don't worry though, they might still have a brunch to mark the anniversary of Pearl Harbor!
