| Slimebeast said: 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. |
It's just in poor taste. He isn't from the US/Boston area.
Would you go to a stranger's funeral and make a joke like this?
