Only if they're not female babies. Otherwise it's loltastic.

I find it weird how some people have more respect for dead people than living people.

Havent met many folk like that.

You yourself said you'd laugh at a joke about someone blonde, but wouldn't laugh at a joke about a dead git.

Its a fairly common attitude, it just confuses me.

I have to take issue with you Rachael. The Monty Python team got some right good laughs out of Graham Chapmans' death. I remember in particular John Cleese explaining it wasn't that unfortunate that Graham couldn't make the reunion as he was "stone fucking dead". That whole skit was genius

Doesnt mean i have more respect for the dead person. Blonde people laugh at blonde jokes if theyre funny. I laugh at fat jokes if theyre funny.

Dead people cant laugh, and Im fairly sure their families wouldnt either. Thats where the respect attitude comes from.

Chapmans family were in the audience.

I don't know, I've certainly been at funerals where jokes and quips were made at the dead person's expense.

[Bunnylingus]

Yes, but did he die in a tragedy? Or do you think he would have objected?

[MarkMono]

Making jokes about dead people is how their family and friends deal with the loss I tend to find. Whether or not the dead person finds it funny is irrelevant, its not like you're telling jokes behind their back, they're dead.

I think you're just a little squeamish, which is fine.

Again thats different, its not a large amount of people making a mockery of a tragedy.

I can very easily distinguish between making a joke about something and making a mockery of something.
I'll make jokes out of tragedies until my face falls off, I wouldn't make a mockery of a tragedy.

[MarkMono]

But to Rachael the two are one and the same, so don't make jokes about any of her family dying.

Could be a busy funeral.

Again, this seems to be a pretty common attitude, I just think its down to basic squeamishness rather than anything else.

[Bunnylingus]

How does it have anything to do with squeamishness?
