# It seems that in general
People find it amusing if the person/people dying are shopped in a way that is creative/amusing, but not where a picture of someone suffering has had just got some random picture stuck next to it.

# I'd go with that
One of the other sources that gets the reaction is the man about to be shot, that was used only a few threads down without too much complaint.

I've seen them used and just decided to hide the images but I've probably seen them used better and at least smiled before.
