Funny or offensive: 9/11 Star Wars parody (enemies, Jesus, TV, thought)

[thecoalman]

There's nothing humorous about this topic and anybody that finds that clip funny needs a reality check. Almost 3000 people died during that event who would include children and peoples mothers, fathers , sisters , brothers etc. Why don't you ask their relatives how humorous they find it.

Former new yorker. In NYC on 9/11. Lost neighbors and someone v. Close to me.

This is still funny as hell.

I see it as a jab at the flaky conspiracy theorists, not the events themselves.

Hey, the parody was not jabbing Bush OR Cheney!

Remember, Cheney = Vader. Unlike Vader, I don't think Cheney will turn against the dark side before he meets his maker.

It doesn't do anything for me one way or the other...

Sometimes laughing at something so horrible is the only way to handle the terrible tragedy of it.

The video makes fun of how people a few steps removed from the tragedy have reacted - the conspiracy theorists, the "If I had done this different, it would have been me" types, etc. It makes fun of US. Not the victims, the families, not the event, but the rest of us.

IMHO that's OK. And I did think it was funny.
