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... |

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 =))) |

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 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?" |
