This is tasteless but pretty funny: 9-11 humor is ok. It helps people deal with the issues better. I lived in nyc and was cracking jokes about it before noon on 9-11.

I think you were one of the few, outside of the West Bank, anyway.

Despite not ever having setting foot in NYC, what happened on 9-11 has impacted me greatly, and the events of that day remain a very clear memory.

Now, I personally know that I could not stomach any jokes about that particular day, but I do remember when, a couple of months later on 'Saturday Night Live', they did some spoofs regarding Bin Laden et.all and how I was so relieved to finally be able to laugh at something, that I almost wanted to cry...in gratitude.

...Well, there's MY emotional moment of the day.

Yeah, I can just see the relatives of 3000 American souls burned and crushed that day just guffawing their rears off...not to mentioned the relatives of the killed and maimed service personnel in Afgan and Iraq. Yup, this is a real tummy tickler.

It may be clever, but it's not f**king funny.

Before noon? So, are you saying that having lived in New York gives you an excuse to be a complete moron? I don't buy it, somehow.
