Censorship is evil. The biggest issue here however is that people tend to make more jokes build on somebody's misfortune. But... for some strange reason, the funniest jokes are about somebody's misfortune.
It is mush funnier to see somebody falling instead of getting up. Strange psychological phenomenon worthy of extensive psychological study. I am sure there was some conducted too :)
Another strange phenomenon. If you are the first one to laugh at your misfortune, suddenly it is not funny to anybody else to make fun of it lol
So i guess the best practice would be to take your misfortunes with a grain of humor :)
@mattclarke added a quote by Mel Brooks the other day on a post, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."
There is no fun unless someone gets hurt - and if you can absorb the pain upfront, it dilutes the fun for others.
Yep.
