Oh too soon

[j0frenzy]

Spoiler: It's the only PA comic that has not made me laugh

I tried to laugh, I really did and I even get the humor (I usually crack up at even the most messed up/offensive jokes), but I just couldn't bring myself to laugh.

I'm not saying that it doesn't have an ironic humor to it, or that you'r a bad person to laugh (please go ahead if you find it funny), but personally I can't bring myself to laugh (I'm a pretty big Nirvana fan).

I honestly did not understand the negative response that came from the chat room while Gabe was drawing this comic live. There were a lot of people saying that it was too soon. To my recollection, it has been over 10 years. I appreciate he was a good guitarist and singer and that his death was semi-tragic, but we can take Cobain off the pedestal now.

On topic, I actually got in trouble for making a Heath Ledger joke a week or two after he died. My joke was something along the lines of Heath Ledger: the most famous actor you never heard about because of his acting. Something like that. I remember I was just getting a little annoyed that everyone was suddenly a fan of Heath's acting when I had never heard of him nor most of his movies until his death and everyone was latching onto him like he was Jesus.

Other people might think some jokes about tragedy are too soon, but I'm of the mind that being able to laugh at anything is wonderful. I don't care if it's my mother's death, if somebody makes a good joke about it, I'll laugh. Screw the sensitivities!

A couple of days before Jade Goodie died I said something about Darwin. Can't remember what exactly but it was probably a bad thing to do.

actually im a little ashamed to say this, but when my mum told me she died at dinner time, i just said "good" and kept eating until i saw her face XD
i felt pretty bad afterwards, it was waaaaaay too soon

when i heard jade goody had died on the radio in the morning i just rolled over in bed and started laughing. does that make me a bad person?
or more to the point, do i give a shit?

I once made a sexual remark about my friends girlfriend, and then after about 5 seconds quite i said "Too soon?" and everyone burst out laughing ahh good times
