Taste should have nothing to do with it. A lot of the news involves death and unpleasantness, so asking Newsbiscuit writers not to satirise death and upleasantness is absurd. "Bad taste" is not a problem. What is a problem is that the joke here is just blunt and too easy to make and doesn't lead anywhere. But if one seeks not to be offended, I doubt one should be reading a website which specfically satirises real life calamity on a regular basis. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=19776&page=2#post-53761 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 00:36:23 +0000 Trickster 53761@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>this seems like a good sub to play in.

You are the sole reason I don't write anything here any more and I read less and less.

By the way how does the US healthcare system work for people in cases like this. Do they only get into A&amp;E after they swiped their credit card? From what I understand when someone without insurance (or with inadequate cover) falls ill, they are obliged to pay their medical costs out of their own pocket. So does it mean they remove the bullet from your body and then take your house away to pay for it? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=19776#post-53581 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 04:45:41 +0000 Trickster 53581@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Jammy Dodgers, I think your refinement works. The first sub was utterly predictable and really bad taste. But what makes that bad taste and all the jokes about the blue haired lit teacher murderer OK ? I guess as those jokes were aimed at the media, and the police, rather than the victim. Jammy Dodgers works tho. Raised a smile anyway :) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=19776#post-53580 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 03:33:02 +0000 SingingHinny 53580@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>What was the middle bit? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=19776#post-53575 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 00:47:50 +0000 Jammydodgers 53575@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>erm....<br /> I appreciated it... kind of sick in a Jimmy Carr way, just needs softened up into something less pointy?</p> <p>How about this minor refinement:</p> <p>"I needed that like a hole in the head!" remarks shot congresswomen, after 'get well visit' from George W Bush and Sarah Palin?</p> <p>Is that still beyond the pale or are we edging away from the precipice yet? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=19776#post-53573 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 00:33:04 +0000 rikkor 53573@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>That "rikkor should know" tag has pierced me through the heart.

Greg has called me a "self righteous little ponce" - a witty, cutting and devastating verbal attack that has left me reeling.

Bit more worried about yourself. Guess you would fail the mental fitness test to buy a gun in the US if they would have one. </p> <p>Getting a number of 1 and 2 star ratings is probably showing that the voters think it's crap, so better no stars then that. Have to say the front pages are funtastic. It's just the subs occasionally letting the site down, but luckily it's probably too rare to justify moderation. If you want to see the waves you hve to accept the occasional turd floating by. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=19776#post-53409 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:28:30 +0000 greg various 53409@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well you're a self righteous little ponce and no mistake bonjonelson.<br /> I can't see what your problem is and I don't feel any need to justify myself. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=19776#post-53407 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:04:52 +0000 bonjonelson 53407@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>You can get away with a joke in very bad taste, sometimes.
