Clever. But a bit insensitive given the recent incident.

Stupid but not as stupid as hiring Jared Fogel as a spokesman.

"Clever. But a bit insensitive given the recent incident."
A bit insensitive?! This defines the meaning of the question "Too soon?"

Who ever made that sign had plenty of opportunities to just drop the idea. Pure stupidity.

Steve Harvey on humor and tragedies:

You know when something bad happens, like, within a day, we’ve got the jokes. In 24 hours, yeah, we pretty much have them. We have the jokes. Now we can’t actually tell them though, we’d be slaughtered. But we got the jokes.

I read this was only at one of their franchises. Not corporate approved. Still just gallows humor and some folks are eager to be offended.

I saw a cartoon just the day after the debris was found. I can’t find it now. Probably been deleted.
Anyway, it was a photo of the submerged submersible with a comment bubble above it that read “Alexa, play Air Supply”. Very poor taste but funny in the gallows humor genre.

Back in college our dorm room threw a party: Jimmy Jones Memorial party. Served grape juice with Everclear. Looking back it was insensitive I guess. One gal I mentioned it too thought it was terrible - one more difference between girls and boys that age!
