From a Washington Post column by Molly Roberts about the online jokes aimed at the victims of the submarine disaster:
"What was weird about this week’s comedy club environment is that so many refused to accept the premise that there was anything awful about cracking wise, because there wasn’t even anything so awful about what was happening to these possibly suffocating people. When others chimed in to suggest the callousness of their chuckling, the joke-tellers replied, no, actually, laughing was good, because these rich guys were asking for it."
I spent the past few days blocking people who found humor in the deaths of the five victims. Funny? Humorous? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I dare those brave-on-line souls to repeat their humor to relatives of those who died.
I have no time for the trolls who post jokes about deaths.
