My insecurities are self-fulfilling prophecies and so are yours. Not everything I have to share is pretty. User discretion is advised. |
I happen to enjoy gallows humor. Sure, it can be cheap and distasteful, but I find it helps relieve the tension and uneasiness we all feel about our own mortality when tragedy strikes.
I made 9/11 jokes on 9/11. I told jokes in the hospital the day my mom passed. So yes, I happen to believe it’s fair game to make jokes when a beloved celebrity dies.
I will, however, refrain from saying anything too tasteless here or on Twitter, though. The righteous indignation of those who don’t enjoy gallows humor is almost as sad as the loss of a talented performer.
So, sure, Whitney. Rest in peace, wherever you are. But please know I intend to roast you a bit when I’m with my friends at the bar tonight.
