I figured it was old, but I had never seen it, and I got it in my inbox from some address I've never seen before. I almost disregarded it as SPAM but this was the only content. Weird. Anyway, I thought it was funny.

Nah man, I wasn't saying that to be snide to you. I was saying it because I posted a pic earlier that the others have seen. It's all good with me.

If you can look past the actual events and see the surface picture and caption, the image can be funny without being offensive or disrespectful.

It's tough to look past it when I'm reminded of it every f*cking day.

I bet I've been riminded more, I grew up a mile from there, was in nyc that morning and now living abroad, all everyone wanted to do for a while was talk about 9/11.

but that's not the point- the point is the stupid cnn ticker that can be downright surreal.

What was the one Al Franken was talking about, the one where some horrible event was been shown, and the ticker said Beyonc� objected to being called bootylicious...

Nonsense.

I thought it was one of the more clever "jokes" in here recently.

And I would have thought that regardless who posted it.

Why are you defending yourself ?
Why do you think he meant you ?

you want a f*cking medal or a monument, dude? 9/11 f*cked with all of us. try living in hawaii with your kid sister living on canal street for her first year at cooper union. for the first time in my life there wasn't sh*t i could do for her. it sucked, but its over. and more importantly, im over it.

i hate when f*ckers like you try to say that they had it worse. 9/11 affected us ALL, and if you want to try and separate yourself by claiming that you had it worse, stfu and fall back in line. this is a group effort. and it was a group tragedy.

It was actually quite funny. At first I was thinking it was a bit offensive considering it was footage from 9/11. But still it made me laugh.

Not offensive at all. There are jokes surrounding every major disaster. 9/11 is no different. If someone can't get on with their life after a reasonable time to grieve, that's their problem.
