About sick jokes.

**Ian The Poet** · 12-12-2009, 04:51 PM

Everytime something happens in the world, especially something serious the jokes abound all over the place. Of course some of them are very sick indeed, after Diana's death, after 9/11 or 7/7, after anyone famous dies or after disasters the jokes come from nowhere. People frown upon them at the time and say they are disgusting, and doing research for posting this I found some strange websites that include sick. I have scanned this link to one such site that is reasonably safe, judge for yourself.
Sick Humor NOTE WEBSITE IS UNSAFE.

What exactly is the point you're making?

And those jokes are quite tame, I'm sure there are more sickening websites out there!

Theres a series of videos on youtube about this sort of thing actually that you might find interesting.

Its called world's most offensive joke. There are 9 topics in total, the last one being the "winner". Topics include disability, race and Princess Dianna.

YouTube - World's Most Offensive Joke - 1/9 - The Holocaust
YouTube - World's Most Offensive Joke - 2/9 - Race
YouTube - World's Most Offensive Joke - 3/9 - Disability
YouTube - World's Most Offensive Joke - 4/9 - Princess Diana
YouTube - World's Most Offensive Joke - 5/9 - Paedophilia
YouTube - World's Most Offensive Joke - 6/9 - Tsunami
YouTube - World's Most Offensive Joke - 8/9 - 9:11 & 7:7 Terrorism
YouTube - World's Most Offensive Joke - 9/9 - Islam (winner)

Why did Princess Dianna cross the road?

Because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

I realised I haven't explained why I originally posted, do people use sick humour to escape the tradegy of the awful event and is it right? Most people ignore them is it because they have no sense of humour, and those that tell the jokes are they sick. Like most people I like a good joke, however are there times when it is better just to look on the serious side of the event, mainly because people have lost their lives or their loved are coping with the death of a loved one.
This could be tricky, it could be someone you know that is involved and that a joke could be more upsetting them than normally. I feel joke should be done with sensitivity and at the right time. Hope that explains it better.

I used to see a lot of tragedy, and as a team we used to use sick jokes afterwards, probably as a method of helping to come to terms with what we had witnessed.
If the people affected had heard our jokes, they would have been outraged, but they did not.
I think it is a form of stress defence mechanism.

I used to live next door to a copper and he said the same. The things you see will mess with your head so bad. So you all make light of the situation with sick humour. And it helps you get through.
Another mate. He worked as a hospital porter for a very short while. A lonely job. He said it was bad enough moving dead elderly people. But when it was the body of a mangled child... With no one to help you through; to share in the horror, it's too much to cope with.

Hi,

please remind your hospital porter friend not to move the bodies labelled FUBAR BUNDY.

Anyone want £20,000? I hear that is the reward for the Auschwitz sign Arbeit Macht Frei, I hear that on the way home from Gropenhagen some MEPs nicked it as with the EU and the New World Order in charge there are unlikely to be more jobs in the EU but there are plenty of new factories and firms being built in India to steal the jobs and they all need signs.

The first item is no more anti medical than the second is anti Gypsy or Jewish - they are methods of dealing with the unacceptable.

Regards,
Greg L-W.

Low alcohol beer is like having oral sex with your sister. It may taste the same but you know it just isn't right !!

NOW THAT'S SICK

Any fans of dead baby jokes?

Lets see shall we...

Whats the difference between a truck load of bowling balls and a truckload of dead babies?

You cant unload bowling balls with a pitchfork.

What do you get if you put a dead baby in a blender?

An Erection.

How do you stop a baby falling down a manhole?

Put a javelin through its head.

How many babies does it take to paint a room?

Depends how hard you through them.

Yep, pretty sick and because they all rely on outrageous imagery for their humour not, in my opinion, remotely funny. I can find sick humour funny when it relies on something other than pushing out the boundaries of the unacceptable.
