He crossed the line, there is nothing funny in that situation.

There's a limit to what can be done. Exploiting such an explosive situation is real bad taste.

Agreed, Philippe. That is just wrong! There are proper ways to use current events, but making a joke out of something so terrible, is completely WRONG!

This article (or similar) should be in the ethics group as well!
