Apparently, there isn't a house in New Orleans....

That's why he does it.

"Black humor is similar to sick humor, such as dead baby jokes".

I think it's trying to suggest that YH should consider digging his own grave or crucify himself.

I have a spade if anyone needs it. Not sure if I can find a crucifix though. Might have to get round it another way, perhaps by not worrying about it and forgetting a slight misjudgement.

"Did you hear about Princess Diana on the radio?

And the dashboard, steering wheel, windscreen..."

EDIT: Bad taste, but also funny. You're not the one that writes for that ITV show, are you?

Nothing to do with that. It was a crap joke.

So, ignoring the fact that some (let's face it - nearly everyone) said it wasn't funny, it bascially boils down to the fact that it was in bad taste, correct?

Yup.

All the highly offensive and moral stuff aside, it was a crap joke.

Everyone knows the basic rule of comedy:

Comedy = Tragedy + Distance

However, bloated corpses still being pulled out of the water does not equal distance. I'm perhaps a worse culprit than anyone as I have a very sick sense of humour (I'm of the same mindset as Light, if you don't laugh about such things, you have to cry) but I know when and where to make such jokes and it's not on a public forum full of people I don't know. Would it just be a harmless joke if someone on the forums had a relative die over there? Would it still be harmless if it had happened in England?

Maybe this is overreacting, but you see my point. Personally, I think you only post these things for a reaction - you brought up the exact same topic soon after the tsunami with a badly-timed joke that was in very poor taste, so you obviously didn't take everyone's reaction on board.

In other words, you're trolling. And it wasn't funny.
