Fox News reported on Monday that "a number of 9/11 families are upset" by an insurance company ad being run in the New York subways. The ad shows the phrases "there's another side of risk...welcome to the upside...risk makes the world go round" superimposed over a face whose eyes show two small vertical reflections of the photographer's lights.

One 9/11 family member took the reflections as a deliberate image of the twin towers, calling it "irresponsible and despicable." However, the insurance company running the ad, which "lost 298 employees on 9/11," denies that the image was intentional.

The Fox hosts disagreed about the reflections, finally asking their viewers, "What do you think? Do you think it looks like the twin towers or do you think it looks like a couple of lightbulbs?"

The following video is from Fox's Fox & Friends, broadcast on June 11.
