make up, jokes about is a worrying vision of what the future may be like.Im sure you’ll find this isn’t the future but something thats rooted very firmly in the past. It’s gallows humour.
Gallows humour in the past was not such a big problem. It was a few sick comments that hardly anyone outside the immediate circle ever heard. And anyone it affected never heard it because people didnt repeat it infront of them. But with the internet,now everyone reads what someone said within seconds. And it will only get worse in future. And even using the word humour with an incident like this is in bad taste. Years from now,maybe. And I say MAYBE. But the first ones appeared online within MINUTES. The bodies were still warm FFS. Anyone who finds humour in that needs professional help
Or maybe people just need to stop being so sensitive all the time. I can understand the immediate family getting distressed because of the joke but not people who didn’t know them.
It’s like its become a national pastime in this country to become offended on behalf of other people. How many examples of TV shows have been reported to ofcom where people complaining hadn’t even watched the show.
It’s all become a bit pathetic.

in Glasgow,usually the 1st you hear of any tragedy is when a barrage of joke txts come in about it,after that,you see it on the news. its obviously a tragedy for those involved,but not for the rest of the sanctimonious masses waffling on about it…no matter what happens in uk now,then theres always he bleeding heart brigade that thinks its great to let the world know how much it affects them,when in reality it dosent .all the masses snottering buying flowers for Diana and at the same time they wouldn’t give a paraffin lamp 50p. the councils have already kicked in £40k for a fund for them…to me that’s just a pr whitewash exercise for the ensuing bombardment of claims coming up towards them. tragic accident,no more no less.if you’ve a alternative sense of humour then why should you not be allowed to post it…i know it doesn’t work like that on here,but you should still be able to voice your views,or whatever you think it amusing in an open forum . the dudes that posted wont have any direct personal grudge against anyone involved,just the black humour that surrounds any accident…or once again am I the only one that laughs at joke txts about worldwide tragedies etc.the 1st I heard about the flipflop doctors blowing up Glasgow airport,the beeflinks getting caught out at morcame bay,tsunamis,wtc ,and lets not forget the plod chopper in Glasgow last year etc was by joke txts…there no worse than going to see chubbs and laughing along with everyone else.mostly racist gallows humour jokes,but he sells out wherever he goes.its ridiculous to think of involving the police for a bad taste joke,and plod should just be telling the complainant to sod off and get a life.(assuming you think its in bad taste in the first place)bad taste jokes are by definition ,in bad taste,lots of people still find them funny…the interesting thing to me is 3 days now,and they cant comment if the unnamed driver had a heart attack or something that might not look too great in print? they’ve named the 6 victims,why cant they name the driver?no doubt it most likely is that he took a wabbler but im not the only one thinking,binnys, shops,takeways,resturants,pubs,its not a full size scaffy truck,so he was on commercial refuse in the city centre…,xmas ,wheres my tips,have a cpl bevvies some cans or a wee half bottle for lifting my bins on the fly again…time will tell,but anythings possible. ive previously driven bin lorries in Belfast for a while,and like binnies everywhere,there not shy in taking what they can mooch regarding freebies and tips.i wonder where public opinion will go if it turns out that him and the 2 loaders were blocked? though id reckon it would be a hushup from the powers that be.
