IS DEATH FUNNY
By Markanthonymedia

Since the assimilation of the internet into modern day life, a culture of creating, forwarding and looking for, what can only be called ‘Bad Taste’, at best is rife among many users.
There are numerous, real or created examples of this, on the net this very second.
But, when a publication, especially one catering to a family readership lowers its self to printing this kind of garbage, can it be deemed anything but unacceptable?
An issue of Gulf Weekly dated (  http://www.gulfweeklyworldwide.com ) 11-18 August gives us a chance to answer this question. For under ‘Tattle Tales’, an article referring to the tragic shooting of a suspected bomber reads You know you’re in trouble when...
...you read this sign at the Notting Hill tube station
Although Transport for London is reluctant to discuss any particular hoax, they have made quite clear their distain of any publication, which sees fit to make a mockery of an unfortunate loss of life.
If the so called Editor had made sure of the facts, he would have discovered the blue colour ink in the supposed real sign is not used at Notting Hill Station.
The following statement brings things into perspective.
A spokesperson for London Underground said: "The notices and signs which are being widely circulated on the internet and elsewhere are nothing to do with London Underground. It is extremely disappointing that a small number of mindless individuals believe the deaths of over 50 innocent individuals and the injury of 700 others in horrific circumstances could possibly be regarded as entertainment."
