Apologies to any who may take offence but my friend did make me chuckle with a single one-liner:

"I heard the Boston Marathon ended with a bang".

Wow.

1) Your friend made the joke

2) You chuckled at it

3) You decided to share it.

Please, for the sake of most of the rest of us who do take offense, refrain from sharing in the future.

Let's see here.... nope. It's the internet, deal with it mate.

Your joke actually was funny. People use gruesome humor all the time, not just children, let's not pretend otherwise. It's called black humor, it's perfectly normal and it has a purpose (sometimes even to emotionally handle miserable situations, not that the Boston bombing necessary is particularly miserable for random people on forums around the world). 

Why be so politically correct about this when we on this forum are far away from the victims without any risk of offending anybody. Let's face it, this is a public news event (the bombing) and blown out of proportion (that's what terrorism does by its nature). There are gonna be all sorts of angles and reactions from people on a huge news event like this, including humor.
