Post by Robert_Moriyama »

Suppose it was a felony to laugh at the misfortunes of others, even in absentia, even if the victim was long dead. We already have lawsuits and (in Canada) Human Rights Commission cases where cartoons or opinion pieces are attacked even when the majority of those who might be offended are NOT offended. This story examines an extreme evolution of the easily-outraged mindset, where slapstick humor is a dangerous thing...
