How fascinating is that? 040415 ... smurfus rex you should read "Ten Little Indians" by Sherman Alexie...doesn't really have any 911 jokes in it, but it does kinda look at some different perspectives on the event... 040415 ... misstree oO... no 9/11 jokes... that's kind of chilling, in a way... laughing at things takes away their power... for better or for worse... but making something taboo places it almost into the realm of religion... *starts hyperventilating*... ack! i'll find something... dammit... calling all tasteless_jokes! report to battlestation one immediately! dead baby patrol will debrief you! and then once you pull your underoos back on, they'll explain exactly why nothing in life should be taken too seriously, including life (and death) itself. 040416 ... smurfus rex found one... Q: What's Osama bin Laden's favorite football team? A: The New York Jets. 040416 ... smurfus rex Q: What's Osama bin Laden's favorite movie? A: The Two Towers. 040416 ... Paul Kemp Whats up? Not the WTC. 040416 ... z i was there 040416 ... sab pats for you kids. you found some. my breif is actually to find the earliest dated one posted on the internet after the event. [where did these ones come from?] i can only find one ONE joke and it was posted a year afterwards "When the radio played 'It's Raining Men' this morning, I didn't realize they were serious." http://www.mrcranky.com/movies/citybythesea/205.html i can find a bunch of people ranting about how you shouldn't make jokes about it, but that's it. i know misstree, i know. how concerning is that? on an information superhighway where everything is considered viable targets for roadkill, where you can find anything and everything legal and illegal, i simply cannot find any other s11 joke. its insane 040416 ... ugly inside watch the video of the planes hitting the towers, then see how much you want to make jokes about it. it just... slams into the building. every time i see it the collision makes my heart skip a beat. 040416 ... sab sighs tiredly and now lets all welcome the obliatory and anonymous complainant you assume i haven't seen it? there are as yet undiscovered tribes in the amazon jungle who have seen that footage. the media saturation text book was written based on the coverage given to the 9/11 events. yes, i've seen it. we got up and watched it happen live for hours. for days actually. and even across the other side of the world, we went to work that day a little nervously, sky scrapers wern't our favourite places to be. however, we made jokes about it, and made each other laugh. humanity cracks jokes as a defense mechanism and a coping mechanism. that tasteless jokes are cracked all the time about the most horrific incidents. nothing is taboo when it comes to jokes. rape death murder paedophilia wars george w bush normally nothing is sacred in jokes. what i find interesting is that apparently, somehow, the events that happened on september 11 2001 are any more sacred than any other tragedy, and we should all be more reverential about this one particual event? yeah, it was a tradgidy, and thousands of people died. but it's not the only thing that's ever happened in which thousands of people died. so why don't people publically joke about this one thing? or even discuss it? even your good self has only posted 5 things under this name, and you have left no email address. i've seen the footage i've done extensive research on world events in past four years yes, a bunch of people died in unpleasent ciscumstances. have a look at the past four years. ugly-arsed things happen all over the world every fucking day. so why is it that it's only september the 11th 2001 that people are staying quiet on the joke front? 040416 ... oh shit. because of the media telling us how terrible it was. 040416 ... smurfus rex you think the WTC was the first fucking time something like this has happened? Where were YOU on April 19, 1995? Can't remember what happened that day? Nothing much really, just a Ryder truck parked in front of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City. You ever feel a shockwave from a truck bomb from 5 miles away? It's eerie. It shakes the dust off the ceiling tiles in your high school German class. Don't think that WTC is some sacred and untouchable tragedy. It ain't. So don't tell me to just watch the footage and then try to make jokes...I walked on cracked asphalt, poked my fingers through holes in metal road signs, and looked at panes upon panes of shattered glass and plywood...all evidence of what a guy can do with a moving truck and a lot of time on his hands. I didn't have to watch footage of the Murrah building's aftermath, I just went downtown. Lighten up. Shit happens. You want tragedy? Go live in Jerusalem for a year and tell me what it's like to wonder if the bus you just got on will make it to your stop without blowing up. Jesus. Laugh a little and don't take things so seriously. That was misstree's whole point. Somebody tell another joke. Or make one up. That would be better. :) 040417 ... would that be out of line? what do you call a jew on 9/11? fashionably late? 040417 ... ugly inside i know, jesus im just saying that watching the plane slam into the towers and listening to all the people scream sort of squashes my urge to tell jokes for a bit. 040417 ... smurfus rex encourage that urge. you'll feel better. :) kinda like when you drink too much and you know you'll feel a little better if you just let it come out... 040417 ... sab while you're scared of it while you hold it in this untouchable light it has power over you thus the people who did it hold that power over you let go of the fear let it become a part of your life, on the same level as you showering or buying a car, rather than it being this untouchable, unmentionable event dont let it hold that power over you. no-one deserves to live in fear 040418 ... kx21 *** breaking_news *** 911 commissioner: 'I've received threats'... 040418 ... kx21 PCA from John_Kerry:- The fantasies of Flip_flop_and_flip? 040421 ... p2 why didn't superman prevent 9/11? cuz he's a f*ckin' quadriplegic! 040608 ... smurfus rex oh man, didn't see that one coming, p2! hehe. 040608 ... dosquatch On the morning of 9/11, everybody in my office was crammed into a conference room with a television, watching goggle eyed as the first tower spat smoke into the sky, nobody saying a word, not quite believing what we were seeing. And the guy next to me mumbles, "Damn women drivers." 040608 what's it to you? who go blather from
