Probably. Its called gallows humor, black humor, etc.
Generally it occurs when the only other thing you can say is “better them than me.” And we all know that is in bad taste.
No, you’re not.
No, you are not the only one. There seems to be a certain type of Freeper who never has an important or relevant thought related to any given post but just can't resist posting adolescent attempts at humor. It dilutes and disrupts the very purpose of this forum.
Hopefully, I can lend some insight into the concept of irony or satire. The idea of The Canadian Womens Hockey teams behavior being responsible for earthquakes and tsunamis is a comment on the banality of observations such as Global Warming or the moral behavior of local populace who are affected causing such disasters . Or similarly framed questions such as the ditz on CNN who asked a seismologist if recent developments were responsible for these earthquakes. (Or in a related, hopelessly moronic assertion by Obama that we can change nature)
Blaming contemporaneous events(such as the women’s hockey celebration) and similarly short sighted explanations for several billions year old processes involving plate tectonics and the earths crust is what is preposterous and worthy of a sardonically humorous stab.
I regret this attempt at was lost on many including the aggressively offended .
BTW, heres a thread on the Hawaii Tsunami at Ace of Spades headquarters that ought to give some folks here the vapors:
