So Wrong but So Funny

[leonidas]

What are things you have laughed at which, upon consideration, are of questionable taste?

9/11 and terrorism jokes, racial jokes. etcetera.

[mephisto]

Do you laugh at atrocities like 9/11!?

[thalbergmad]

Racial jokes and religious jokes i can laugh at.

I have not heard any 9/11 jokes and would not want to.

No, laughing at jokes in some way relating to the event is a little different.

I recently heard a quip regarding a Bin Laden's video in which he preaches about the enviromental concerns caused by fuel use and emissions...commenting that it was rich coming from him, a man who we would never have heard of without airtravel.

Edgy, controversial and bad-taste humour has a naughty feel to it, makes it that much more appealing in some ways.

The only one I heard was a new airline, Bin Laden Airways which fly you straight into your hotel room.

Remember that kid who flew a small plane into that building?
