# I happen
to think it is. It takes this piss out of the mawkish deification of anyone who had anything to do with the WTC.

# Bollocks,
that poor bastard had to make the decision whether to stay at the top of the that building and burn to death or jump to his death from christ knows how many storeys up.
Thats really fucking funny isnt it.

# No it doesn't
It doesn't address the deification issue at all - instead it takes the piss out of someone we don't know who had to make the decision between jumping and frying.

Make political comment by all means, but don't expect me to laugh at specific people dying.

# There've been a couple of images like this lately
and I must confess I've laughed ( or at least sniggered). The only problem is that lasts to seconds and I spend the next few minutes feeling uneasy and.... well I can't describe it.

I don't really know why I can laugh at the jokes about princess di, or the current run of spastics jokes but have a problem with this. I guess it crosses some line in my head. Like I can't really imagine myself being too comftable with holocaust jokes. some things seem to be a little to far.
My. that was a long post wasn't it?
