Okay, first off, this is NOT a joke thread. I'm not posting any jokes, and that's not the thread's purpose.
I find it odd, and, yes, amusing, that hours after Michael Jackson and Billy Mays died, there were jokes around the net. I read them, and I laughed.
I respected Jackson a great deal. I'm 31, and I grew up on "Smooth Criminal", "Thriller" and "I'm Bad." I respected Jackson as a musician, and think he had a lot of talent. I'm not sure if I believe the rumors of child abuse. It's up to God to sort that out now.
But, when is it too soon to make jokes about dead celebrities? Jackson's life, his quirks, and his plain, outright insanity, are very joke worthy.
Billy Mays, who I think was a damn good salesman and a passionate guy, already has jokes out about him.
Again, I laugh. And, I don't feel guilty. I LIKED both guys.
Do you laugh at jokes about the recently departed famous? Or, do you think they are in bad taste.
I choose to laugh. I've always had a sick, yet good and healthy sense of humor.
And, maybe it's just a way to keep the illusion alive. After all, I'M not dying anytime soon. That's what we all think.
Do you think it's appropriate or offensive?
I'm curious about this, because I've read some vicious, VICIOUS jokes in the last few days, and laughed my ass off.
Am I twisted, or am I not alone?
