This also isn't the first time he's made fun of the WTC attacks. He posted the following image 3 years ago. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Vju0W.jpg) | ||

We don't sanction NSFW humor for instance, and so we draw an arbitrary line as to whether the kind of humor breeches that NSFW line. Similarly, TL doesn't sanction all offensive humor because we simply dont want that content here. That post breached out standards so we removed it. This also isn't the first time he's made fun of the WTC attacks. He posted the following image 3 years ago. + Show Spoiler + Thanks Plexa for clarifying. Something something "This is Our House". Edit: In my country we have a weekly TV show dedicated to this kind of humor, making fun of people in concentration camps and stuff. I mostly just hope it wasn't a country that participated. Not that it's a lot better, it's still super douchey, but it's worse if it was one of the countries that was like "Jews? We got your Jews right here Hitler!" | ||

For the record, TL tries pretty hard to keep even the latter out of the funny pictures thread (you won't get far with racism or religion-bashing and can only go a little farther with country bashing). 9/11 jokes are especially unfunny because of their proximity. I, for one, know people who lost loved ones there. Sure the same is true for other posters here. Holocaust jokes aren't funny either for similar reasons. And maybe the best argument is that it's the fucking funny pictures thread: I go there to see funny pictures. I want to be amused, in a light-hearted way. I don't want to see a car crash and I sure don't want to see a plane crash. Humor is subjective. I've lived 20 miles from New York before and after the attacks, I still laugh at 9/11 jokes if they're done right. The Holocauster Tycoon article on Encyclopedia Dramatica is also one of the funniest things I've ever read. It's well thought-out and the authors really put the effort into making it funny and not just something based on shock value. | ||

I disqualify and despise any semblance of humor made on the back of suffering, it is very distasteful.., is it ban worthy .. I don't know. Nuke worthy (the posts themselves not the poster) yes. + Show Spoiler + You need your enemies close enough so you can r i p them a new one.. no offense meant.

Dunno about spoiler tag. You can ban people on your blog. You don't need TL+ for that as far as i'm aware | ||
