While it would be funny if he didn't die, the fact that someone died draws a very clear philosophical line for me. Personally I see a very thin line between finding humor in a way someone died and things I would never find acceptable and luckily our society has removed from itself but could easily slip back into any culture due to basics of human nature.
Note: I don't try to change anyone's opinion with this post. Don't reply trying to change my opinion, it won't work. Laughing at me is permitted (You wouldn't be the first or the last), I don't care you're going to laugh anyway, besides, I'd find all of your comments funny if it weren't on the subject of death.
