10. Not even close to ever.
300K died in Pakistan in the 70's... typhoon I think.

Then 150K... also in Pakistan... and IIRC, also from a typhoon.

15. NEVER!!!!!
To joke about something so horrific that has taken so many lives and caused so much grief and devastation is sick and too disgusting for words.I can't figure out why people can find humor in tragedies. I have a terrific sense of humor,but not about anything so horrible as tsunami.This is unbelievable. I hurt so bad for those people. :cry:

16. Speaking of bad tsunami jokes ...
Edited on Mon Jan-03-05 03:25 PM by Sentinel Chicken
From the Westsboro Baptist Church and the mind of Pastor Fred Phelps:

Thank God for the tsunamis - and for 5,000 dead Swedes!!!

What an unbelievably hate filled site

17. Used to work for a Wall Street firm
NOTHING was tasteless enough to keep them away - if someone died at midnight, that morning we'd have tons of tasteless jokes about it (Marvin Gaye, Natalie Wood, etc.).

They were considered currency - an excuse to call all our clients.

About the only thing they probably didn't joke about was 9/11 - too close to home - all else was fair game.

18. Well, it took 20 years for AIDS jokes and 60 for FDR wheelchair jokes...
(thank "Family Guy" for both of those)

So, buck the system and sock it to us now. :7
