Default there is something slightly perverse

about expecting sensitivity from kim jong-il.




I've just realised I don't know how my oven works.

If I could be arsed (and I can't) I would go through the history of all the grief junkies on this thread and find all the occassions where they have took the piss out of dead celebs.

One can still make a joke (that one about him hanging out of the back of Paddington ) and genuinely feel sorry that a bloke who was clearly a decent fella, ended up topping himself. I see no contradiction in being sad AND cracking a decent joke.

Saying your glad someone is dead though is a different thing.

Are there any Lampard jokes yet? Anything about her coffin missing the hole in the ground before being deflected in off a nearby statue etc .etc.?

How about, it wasn't even an attempt at a joke. He was wishing someone dead for his own personal (all be it limited) gain. I know that was meant to be the joke but it wasn't in anyway funny or clever.

You can make jokes about these things if some effort has been put in and there is a reasonable attempt at humour. KJI was just after provoking a reaction by acting like a @#%&!. Dom Jolly can get away with it sometimes but most people just make themselves look like a @#%&!.

Default I don't know mark speight well enough

to say if he was a decent fella (I suspect not).

but he was £#%&!ing annoying on tv.

I'm glad his career is dead anyway.

if something heavy fell on ian wright (make your own suggestion), I would, I'm afraid, be unable to suppress a little whoop.

Of course he was decent - he was on television for God's sake

I reckon this is just Mr Kim's way of distracting the forums attention away from the Nuclear Reactor he is building in Syria, the cheeky little bugger.
