I dont get it

honestly i dont know what kind of idiotic insensitive morons would think there is humor in those images, there is nothing funny about them, they are not clever and not creative in any way shape or form. Like we have all mentioned in class 9/11 was a serious tragedy that affected so many people and like Alicia said it still feels like it was only yesterday. Like Alicia says it is in our nature to make fun of certain events for comfort but i personally think it is distasteful and strange. I guess it can be concidered a form of expression but whats the point of making fun of a tragedy that killed so many people, and changed all of our lives? I dont get that at all.

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.

reaction to danny's links

I just saw the links that Danny posted, and I have to admit that I am COMPLETELY disgusted by some of them especially the one that goes from showing batman and then the planes hitting the towers. I cant understand why people do this.
