nope, not really funny. If the situation was in a cartoon or TV show, and a REAL HUMAN BEING didn't actually die, then yes, i would probably laugh at it. But see, since I recognize the fact that his family is now grieving his death, don't find it humorous.

You're joking right?

You do realise families don't have the right to lock their child away from all of society just because they're deaf. So if my sister was deaf, and I let her go into the city for a day, it would be wrong of me to be upset if she died?

No, but you shouldn't be deriding them either.

Earth to Merkaba, did you read through all the posts? Thats what I thought.
If you kept on reading Bungalow posted another story about someone dying because of their own gas, because he ate beans and what not in an almost air tight room.

Oh I see, usually one doesn't bother to read all 30 40 posts in the thread but I guess it pays to check...*eats some humble pie, mmmm blueberry*.

Death is never comical, regardless of the circumstances.

Correction. Death is often comical.

And seriously, get a grip. They're dead, it's not like they're gonna cry about it. Either they're completely unaware of their predicatment, thus unaffected by mocking laughter, in a "better place" thus hardly going to get hissy over mocking laughter, or in a "worse place" and thus not deserving of sympathy.

You like black metal though, so your opinion is invalid.
