However I guarantee if I had tried to make a joke about say Ornette Coleman or one of those guys from Can, people here would come down hard on me - most likely those who are cracking jokes they consider funny now. There are sacred cows and god help you if you cross that line, but everyone else it seems is fair game. At least nobody was crass enough to even consider making a joke about Bowie's passing: I guess there are some standards here after all. But the double standard can be at times really annoying.

tealdear: don't mock the dead. You're a ****ing douche if you do.
If he dies then I'll sneak into his funeral and drip a pre-masturbated tin of my own semen onto his face in his coffin. That'll be funny.
