Shame on you assholes for making a joke about such a tragic event.
It even got a spin-off thread :2wave:
We are assholes now Jerry. Are you as ashamed as I?
You certainly haven't caused any to me, I'm sure you can understand that I just felt the need to bring up the issue of the injured with whom I feel some affinity.I don't think Jerry or I are making fun at all of any victims. We find a bit of humor in this, but not in the tragedy aspect, and I certainly hope we have not caused any one undue discomfort with our attempts at humor.
Just a reminder folks, last I heard there were four survivors were severely burned in this incident.
While I don't talk about it too often, I'm a burn survivor. (Full thickness burns, fifteen percent body coverage, from burning kerosene, resulting in two skin grafts for those interested in the details.)
While I understand dark humor applied in this instance, please do take a moment to realize that these people will be in fairly indescribable misery for some time, quite possibly for the rest of their lives.

You and Jerry please note that I raised the point but didn't accuse anyone of being unkind or insensitive. I wish the first respondent hadn't changed the flavor of my little aside.
I watch the best video available of this stuff in surround sound every day for entertainment...so I'm not about to start crying when someone posts a weak article on a website.
Quite the opposite, I'm going to wonder why someone posts a story like this if it's not meant as entertainment, and I'm going to think less of their ability to post if they don't include any related YouTube video.
