[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1638736, member: 7157"] Elwood, I'm curious - did you single out Ridge for the rather jarring image he posted in this thread? If not, then I have to ask why, since as he pointed out, several of us did make jokes of questionable taste. I'm curious why RH would deserve special treatment. As for our responses, it's human nature to want to make light of tragedy and relieve the stress of everyday life. Some people will find it objectionable, saying "too soon" and such, but sooner or later there will be jokes made, songs sung, rhymes created, etc. about events that would otherwise threaten to beat us down with their horrific nature. In this case, now that the victim has a name and a face, I don't think anyone will be making any more jokes any time soon about that terrible situation. But it does happen, eventually. Just look at the rhyme I quoted at the beginning of this response - it was a common jump rope ditty for years after the grisly murder of Lizzie Borden's parents. Not kosher perhaps, but it's inevitable. [/QUOTE]
