yes

I think it could be referenced in articles but as the main target it's never going to be that funny.

I thought up a take on it on Monday night about International Rescue being swamped by the China crisis, being busy with Iraq, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe etc, which I think would have worked (Tuesdays Thunderbirds article kinda put paid to that though, which was rather annoying (I had a great punch on Burma not letting them in because they considered them a puppet organisation too.).) but, even mentioning it seems tricky without seeming crass or offensive. Unless something really springs to mind it seems wise to give it a miss, but I guess people can try regardless. They'll get voted down and won't make the front page unless it's appropriate anyway, so the problem more or less solves itself.

Comedy is based on moral decency, and don't you forget it.

People seem to be scoring them as low as possible, which is good. Really, some things are not funny.
