On another thread I was castigated by bluenoses for humor in "poor taste" and although I haven't seen this South Park episode, I am always amused by people who think there are some subjects that cannot be treated with humor

The only morbid topic of the last twenty years that AFAIK never generated any jokes was 9/11. Everything else seems to have been "on-limits", so to speak. Morbid jokes have replaced "dirty" jokes in our culture.

Certainly the over the top histrionics associated with the Schiavo case, from "they're going to kill all the disabled people" to "starvation is wonderful" have made it a natural South Park target.

Indeed, the last page of Kenny's will, when found, was spot-on.

9/11 generated the best Onion story ever: "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule."

The only morbid topic of the last twenty years that AFAIK never generated any jokes was 9/11.

A guy walks into the World Trade Center and says "Can I buy a plane please?"

The women at reception replies, "Sorry sir, we dont sell planes."

"Funny," says the guy, "you have one in the window."
