Too Soon?
(Newser) – Comedian Dane Cook got the is-it-too-soon debate started only a week after the Dark Knight massacre in Colorado. Video obtained by the Daily Caller shows Cook telling a joke at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles: “I know that if none of that would have happened, pretty sure that somebody in that theater, about 25 minutes in, realizing it was a piece of crap, was probably like, ‘Ugh f—ing shoot me.’” He drew a mix of groans and laughter. Early reaction is decidedly not in Cook’s favor:
-Tony Hicks, Contra Costa Times: “Yes, it’s too soon. It may always be too soon. Especially for Dane Cook.”

(Newser) – A top public relations executive at Chick-fil-A has died of a heart attack amid the company’s high-profile fight against gay marriage, reports Georgia’s WRBL News3. Donald Perry, who generally served as the company’s spokesperson, died this morning. “Don was a member of our Chick-fil-A family for nearly 29 years,” says a Chick-fil-A statement. “He was a well-respected and well-liked media executive in the Atlanta and University of Georgia communities, and we will all miss him.” Click for more.

Which is why you can joke all day about the Mongol hordes, but Nazis … not so much

I love it when these sanctimonious POS’s, these moral retards who reserve for themselves the right to volate any standard of decorum, get their nuts kicked up into their nasal cavities.
Ten years ago, I conjured up in my mind a joke about 9-11 which, if you could disconnect from the appalling event itself, would be considered pretty funny. But since I’m fundamentally decent, I don’t do that

My opinion, it will always be too soon–sorry.
As far as Mr. Perry’s death–I see BIG GAY is as tolerant as ever. RIP Mr. Perry, you stood solidly in your faith and will be rewarded for eternity.

Why let yourself get upset over what some inconsequential idiot hundreds of miles away says?
BTW I’m going to Chik-Fil-A today. Recommendations?

With any tragedy. it’s too soon. Never is too soon.
There’s way too much other material out there to use, to justify using an event like this!
