Thats my view
Can you do us a joke about the 2 girls that were murdered by Ian Huntley? Sure you can get Manchester United into it somewhere as they were wearing the shirts! How about a joke at the expense of a raped woman? Something along the lines of she kept saying NO! Or Margaret Hassan (the British Charity worker) being decapitated by terrorists in Iraq. Loosing her head perhaps.



My view is that, its one thing to laugh at Terrorists. Make fun of Bin Laden and suicide bombers by all means. Its entirely another to laugh at the victims. And to write "we wont change our life to suit them" and all the talk of stoicism in the media is bullshit to be honest. Lives have been altered.

Oh and BTW. When Richard Whitely died somebody pointed out that Pneumonia was a 9 letter word. As he didnt take himself to seriously I feel he would have smiled at that. So thats acceptable to make a little joke about someone whose died.
