Certainly a more measured response than I was expecting.
I found the links from a puff-piece article on the Grauniad which was banging on about how absolutely appalling and sickening it was. I just feel the needless sensationalism of the articles was at least equally cheapening of the event.
Well granted it was unpleasant behaviour, but I still found it funny in a gallows-humour style.
Though I'm loath to ascribe groupthink to b3ta, this is still a site where Madeleine McCann jokes are still posted pretty much every week; where the Falling Man motivator made an FP; where the Asian Tsunami was the subject of much joking and where I read a hilarious QOTW response about someone getting hit by a tube train.
I'm happy to delete the thread if anyone feels particularly strongly about this - I just thought that there's normally a fairly twisted streak to the boards.

I'm not judging you, dude...
I'm not shocked, appalled, or offended.
I simply don't agree that it's funny. And yes, it takes a lot on these boards to offend.
