9/11 now funny, but not really.
Jerry Falwell died. Is this funny? Would it be 'funny' if not "funny" if he'd died in the 9/11 attacks? That wasn't a joke. This is making me uncomfortable.
To sum up, from Gchat with a friend in a prominent news organization:
me: jerry falwell died
weird

friend: i know
things are crazy around here
me: i bet
i'm sure you're very busy
Gawker celebrated. Is this just a necessary part of being journalism affiliated and having certain views (namely that some people deserve to die)?
It is possible that today a man died and a large portion of the media said "Too bad journalistic ethics forbids making a story happen, or I would've had a big scoop a long time ago."
Awkdogs.
