Yeah, I thought the joke was lame, and maybe a little inappropriate, given that at least one person has died from this mess.
Well, I thought it was a good joke. And in case you didn't realize, FReeper's MediaMole's quip did not kill that person; the spinach did.
You need to develop a sense of humor too. By your logic, it is not permissible to joke about muslims. After all, quite a few people die each day because of them.
Well, I thot the joke was funny. I had that exact same thot.
