Sick: WTC "jokes" are disgusting...

EXPOSER | 20.09.2001 23:13

Why should we tollerate such filth?

Friends, i beg your pardon for drawing such awful correspondent to your attention but, I was horrified to recieve an email today which contained two sickening "jokes" about the world trade centre disaster.
Here, I reproduce the extremely offensive material.
Don't get me wrong, I am doing this so we can all be aware of the childish and vulgar behaviour of some shameless people.
Please, continue with caution...

"Joke" 1
"The last words of the hot-dog seller outside the world trade centre: 'Who ordered the Jumbo?'"

Sickening isn't it?

"Joke" 2
"The cleaning lady at the world trade centre has been fired. What for? Well, the silly old bat left the Landing lights on!"

It beggars belief, I know.
Well...(sigh)...there we go people, sleep well...

Thanks, Exposer.

Thankyou Exposer for having the foresight and courage to bring those sad and pathetic "jokes" to our attention.
I just don't what it is with these people.
I myself heard two men talking on the bus and saying that it was a bad day for women pilots, or some other such nonsense.

It's not important.


HOW DEPLORABLE!!!!

I like the hotdog one, I'll have to remember that one! Jesus, take everything so seriously! Personally if I was killed in some extrodinary way I'd want people to get a good laugh out of it.

The only bad thing about these jokes is that someone who is related to the victims could hear, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

This happens evey time

These are the first two jokes I have heard on this subject. All other vicious disasters have them, but not this one, apparently. I guess what with the Echelon spying system, people are a bit afraid to upset Uncle Sam.

know its wrong but i dont feel it

21.09.2001 09:27

rationally and reasonably i know these jokes are sick but i cant help but find some quite funny. all those in the WTC dont know about it, will never know about it, and now they will never have to endure their stupid jobs any more. i wonder how many people really really feel grief and how many are acting through emotional correctness. if your own life isnt actually affected its far too hard to have a genuine emotional response. as far as i am concerned this whole thing has nothing to do with me. obviously id like not to die but if WW3 is coming then i hope we all die. 5000 years of civilisation and we still act like fucking cavemen. the planet would be better off without us

wot R U on

21.09.2001 11:46

steve has got it right we have just about fucked up the planet and we are such stupid arseholes that we sit by and watch a grinning clown telling us he is going to get the
evildoers it's one big fucking joke and we are the butt end of it. not only do they expect to believe the bin laden fairy stories we are expected to go out and beat up some
muslims or other dark skinned turban wearing people .

by the way did anyone catch the names of any top people
killed in the CIA (guided) terrorist attack or were top people not travelling that day ???
if anyone hears of any real proof that bin laden was in anyway connected to this bullshit please publish it ,
i didn't hear a single word even about eveidence linking
him to it . sure ... make some jokes at least we can die
laughing ....

is there a psychologist in the house

21.09.2001 12:05

there are always jokes about terrible disasters made by people. Is this an attempt to distance it from themselves or to help them come to terms with it? in fact I know someone studying psychology i'll get back to you some time on this but can't promise when. the regions of the brain controlling crying and laughing are closely linked - i know that much. perhaps this happens due to some spill over effect. people laugh till they cry now and then and perhaps when unable to cry due to an events remoteness from themselves humour emerges unwarranted.

Bad jokes are now illigal

21.09.2001 13:23

On a recent internal flight in the States two of the passengers were removed from the plane, which was waiting to take off, returned to the gate and detained for making the comment “this the one bound for the White House, right?” Quite how two people can make the same comment simultaneously is not clear but police were able to find traffic warrants against one of them and arrested him for that. This was picked up by the San Jose Mercury News columnist Gary Richards who published the men’s names in his paper.
Many people deal with anxiety by making jokes about
their fears. It is human nature. However, that apparently is no longer acceptable conduct.

Removed from the plane

er... yeah I don't think jokes are illegal, as such.

When I was 10, I was going on holiday with my family and at the security check, the woman asked us if we had anything electronic in our bags - a routine question. I interjected "there might be a bomb". I was trying to be funny. I was 10.

The woman looked sternly at me and said "Don't you say things like that young man or you won't be going anywhere".



The point is that if you make jokes about hijacking, then if they decide to arrest you it's because they're genuinely worried that you really are going to hijack the plane. It's not because they think you have irredeemibly bad taste, it's because they think you're a security risk.

Then again maybe it's because the yanks have no sense of humour.
