Response to animated images

I watched the animated images that Danny put up for us, and thought they were just horrible. I don’t think that kind of humor is going to be understood this soon after 9/11. I understand though, that eventually someone is going to poke fun of 9/11, though I don’t see how anyone can, but some form of humor has always arose out of a tragic event, and I know all of us have made some off hand funny comment about an historical event, like the Vietnam War with movies like Good Morning Vietnam with ROBIN WILLIAMS (can’t get more comedic then that), or Full Metal Jacket with a particular hooker scene. Even the Holocaust, WWI, and other wars, have had thier moments.

It’s sad, yet maybe a weird way, humans have of getting over things, making people laugh through it. But with 9/11, many have already voiced in class, it still feels like yesterday that 9/11 happened, and to see these animated images only angers right now, and might for a long time. Sadly it will probably be our children’s generation who will pick fun of 9/11 because they weren’t there to understand what it was like for us, just like we don’t understand what it was like for our parents, and grandparents and the horrific things they saw.
