What Really Happened to the Submarine Kursk
 

It's not often you get some decent humour about Windows that's tongue
in cheek, I thought this might amuse....

Out of it. Best ever. Is Nerdy Gates suing?

Hello Gavin,

118 men got killed, most likely drowned slowely - and you turn it into something
to laugh about.

one has to ask how low will people go in order to get a laugh, should we
start poking fun at 80 year old grandmothers who have a serial number cut
into their forearm ?

or should we wait untill their all dead.

istr the russians were slow in asking for help that would have been
timely, for fear of losing face.

i would like to consider tech people like ourselvs are a bit more enlightened
than the unclean masses and not lower ourselvs to poking fun at the (slow)
death of others.

Probably best that you take it up with the authors of the page in question
then rather than someone who posted a link. ;-)

Who gives a ****, the russians slaughtered millions of their own
people. Plus the odd atrocity like Katyn. Harden up, lezzie

Agreed.

My view on humour is that it's nothing to do with the actual *content*
of the joke - it's the *context* that makes it acceptable/funny or
unacceptable/sick. ie. Who told it, to whom, where - and the intent.

I once heard a 1 hour long comedy routine - all "Jewish" jokes (at a
Jewish wedding reception) that had everyone in stitches. Any one of
those jokes could be seen as racist or in poor taste if re-told in
different circumstances.

It's a fair comment Steven, and I did have some hesitations about
posting it due to any perceived sensitivities. But I figured the
context I posted this in was reasonable, I didn't see it demeaning the
sailors who died.

When all is said & done if we don't have a sense of humour about
misfortune & death we'd hardly have any humour at all. You could say
the same thing about cartoons like this, which are printed in the
paper every day;

Pretty insenstive to Milosevics relatives, but still morbidly humorous
in it's own way IMO.

I think you read too much into it, I posted a joke about Windows was
all.

Oh dam someone else who needs to get a life.

prophet cartoons.
