Hmmm... The cause of that might be the mentalitity differences between russians and you. Russians don't understand english humor, englishmen don't understand russian humour...

What is it about?
Posted by Professor
Jokes about tragedies like school in Osetia, the Twin Towers (note - tomorrow there will be 3 years since that) are called BLACK HUMOR and CYNISM - and I don't think they could be compared with this picture.
P.S. You laugh when someone get's a cake into his face - you probably never got a cake into your own face. Russians never laugh on cake-type jokes =)))

I think it was funny ;o)

OK, if most of you are offended by such humor - I must say sorry. Maybe you like this one - http://www.commutator.spb.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=156. The word on the picture is "Obormoto", "Obormot" is a lazy, silly, rough person.

@Professor
Like most things humour is somewhat subjective, what is funny to some may not be funny to others….
Different cultures generally have different tastes when it comes to humour…I am from the Caribbean and what we find funny might not seem funny to the Europeans and the opposite is also true…
But in my opinion making fun of what happened in Russia recently is not funny, or the twin towers……but that is just my opinion….and I have to respect that other people may find it funny….

I posted a photoshopped pic of those Iranian siamese twins wearing Kappa tracksuits and i got slated!

I have to admit I didn't find it funny, but that was just my sense of humour. I didn't find it offensive as such.
Mind you, my sense of humour tends to be quite black and cynical, I find that laughing at bleak situations helps you cope or perhaps come to terms with them. I found some of those post 9/11 jokes amusing in their own way (e.g. "Q. What's Osama Bin Laden's favourite dessert? A. Big Apple Crumble".
The above joke can be interpreted as rather sick, espeically as it can be construed as laughing at the deaths of over 3,000 people in horrifying curcumstances. I believe the phrase for it is 'gallows humour'. I hope you understand my point here, if not, i'm in for a severe flaming!!

Sorry, I don't see any similarity between a photo of a tutorial siamese twins doll and the school or towers tragedy. If somebody's feelings have been offended - I must say sorry. Maybe you'll like this one - http://www.commutator.spb.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=156. The word on it is "Obormoto", "Obormot" means "Lazy, stupid, rough person". Or is it "laughing at a poor vagabond?"

Never call stupid somethig you don't understand or don't like.
Posted by Professor
If you don't think it's funny - just say "I don't think it's funny". If you think it's funny - just say "Ha-ha-ha". The picture is placed in a forum - the goal is to listen to the opinions. But NOBODY has expressed his opinion there where the pic is placed. Why?
Posted by Rookwise
Hmmm. The section/thread where the pic is placed is a bit strange as its called Holy War.
Making fun of someones misfortune or physical appearance imo is not funny at all. Put yourself in their position. Would you find it funny. I think not.
Agreed that different people interprate different things as being funny but I like to think there is a universal feeling that thing's like this type of 'toilet humor' is not funny.
Posted by Professor
Hey... It is not about physical defects... It's all about Nokia and their "Connecting People"...
Check this - http://www.commutator.spb.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=159. It is about Megafon, 250-02, www.megafon.ru, and their "The future depends on you".

@prof
don't take their comments too close - they just think in a different way. to me your 'creatiff' seems okay, pretty funny but remember that no good artist advertises his works. yeah.
