Grow up. Dealing with tragedy by offering humor is one way to deal with the horror of it all. That's just human nature. Example: How many jokes about the Challenger disaster have you heard? How about the even more horrible starvation in Ethiopia? Q: Why don't Ethiopians go to the movies? A: The seats keep folding them in half. Q: How many Ethiopians can you fit in a phone booth? A: All of 'em. Okay so that's ones real OLD, because there aren't very many phone BOOTHS anymore.... But the point is that facing a horrible event with dark humor is simply part of the process. I know, I teach Psychology.

I need to grow up because I think jokes about Natalie Wood are cruel? I’m sorry but to me,these jokes are not funny because the poor woman died in such an awful way. What about Jew jokes? Are those funny because they a way to deal with a horrible event? There are some things that are not funny.
