I obviously think it was a tradgedy, but its hardly the worst the world has seen in the last 6 years (Darfur anyone?). And laughing over something always eases the pain and makes things easier to accept. Its not to show disrespect. Have you ever heard cops joke? They're very tasteless, but they have to be to stay sane and get through the day.

all I originally intended to post was the :-\

But it happened in America. It's the same thing as people in Nigaragua caring more about the 100 or so people that died in Hurricane Felix recently than they cared about Sept 11th. Or people in the houshold of the three officers that were killed in Texas caring more than they cared about the people in 9/11. It's natural.

Especially this one where some dumb redneck was singing about how the war in Iraq had to do with protecting our freedoms and Osama bin Laden (maxlolz) and he even glorified the killing of innocent civilians. Thats far worse than any jokes about 9/11.

This one really bothers me, to make fun of someone jumping to their death because out of desperation is a little sick, no offense meant. The other lampoons were ok though, this one just seems to have taken it a little too far.

Yeah, the others weren't so bad, distasteful but tolerable. But this one got me too. I think it's bad to trivialise somebody's last few moments alive, especially in a case like this. The images of the towers themselves may conjure images of America owning everybody else becuase that's all society seems to give a **** about. But this person didn't deserve what happened to them, nor did their family or friends. That image was completely disrespectful, they deserve a little dignity at least.
