“Have you heard the one about the tsunami that killed thousands of people?”
It probably goes without saying, but poking fun at a natural disaster after thousands have just died is a pretty shitty thing to do. But regardless of its crappy factor (no pun intended) these bastards sporting cheap jokes are not in breach of their responsibilities to freedom of speech. They’re entitled to say what they please and the retribution they receive could be considered injustice.
A dashing old Frenchman once said, “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend till death your right to say it.” I personally like the misquote, “I may not agree with what Paul Henry said, but I will defend to the death my right to say that he’s a cunt for saying it.”
