Seriously? You Call This Humor?

Every so often, I find a pretty funny thing on the Onion. Often their humor is lame. Many times, the articles are mediocre attempts at satire.

But lame humor is one thing. Complete irreverence for the suffering of others is another.

I can't believe their "American Voices" post today that laugh in the face of Tim Russert's sudden recent death.

It's really quite disgusting to make fun of someone so shortly after passing.

Humor doesn't have to come at the expense of those who can't defend themselves.

Seriously. Grow up.

  1. I agree... And these people (not just the writers at the Onion) do it all of the time. When Heath Ledger died, we heard all sorts of things...
