What about if the planes were filled with teddy bears and it was part of an SNL skit? Just because genocide isn't happening to anyone you know doesn't make it right to make light of it. Joking about genocide decreases the horror of the offense. Was it acceptable to laugh about flying planes into buildings after 9/11?

I honestly don't think genocide is something to be joked about, and I think there are a good number of people who would agree with me. On the Mushroom Clown: Thorgard, you said it with "comedic use of a mushroom cloud." It's hard for me to find nuclear war funny, either.

I mean, you could be an extremely naive grad student and possibly be serious about all of it, but even I am not going to stoop to that level of personal insult.

No one is so emotionally damaged to actually be sensitized to something like this, right? Tell everyone the truth: you’re some elaborate troll using a PC gimmick to rile people up.
