   well since you asked, my advice is take it down. Plenty of time. Sorry. By the look of it (hastily scribbled together etc) you know it's not funny enough to escape the 'too soon' tag.

   cf: Nelson Mandela obituary :-)

   Yeah, I know what I've written isn't funny enough. I was just seeing if anyone else had any ideas on whether it was possible to try and make it amusing, or whether it's just impossible in this case.

   I agree with Nickb about taking it down - I don't think it works as a subject. not sure it is just that it is too soon, but the target of the satire isn't clear to me. Just my personal opinion of course.

   The Pokemon Go angle you are pushing at - the lengths that people will go to to chase virtual characters - could be used in a different context. perhaps GCHQ or the new home secretary spending days supposedly investigating cyber criminals when in fact they are addicted to pokemon go for example.

   What they said. Disclaimer noted, but finding an acceptable and worthwhile angle on the killings is extremely difficult.

    I'm curious about quite how distasteful it was now.

    By comparison, your subs are funny.
