OK, if most of you are offended by such humor - I must say sorry. Maybe you like this one -

@Professor
Like most things humour is somewhat subjective, what is funny to some may not be funny to others….
Different cultures generally have different tastes when it comes to humour…I am from the Caribbean and what we find funny might not seem funny to the Europeans and the opposite is also true…
But in my opinion making fun of what happened in Russia recently is not funny, or the twin towers……but that is just my opinion….and I have to respect that other people may find it funny….

I have to admit I didn't find it funny, but that was just my sense of humour. I didn't find it offensive as such.
Mind you, my sense of humour tends to be quite black and cynical, I find that laughing at bleak situations helps you cope or perhaps come to terms with them. I found some of those post 9/11 jokes amusing in their own way (e.g. "Q. What's Osama Bin Laden's favourite dessert? A. Big Apple Crumble".
The above joke can be interpreted as rather sick, espeically as it can be construed as laughing at the deaths of over 3,000 people in horrifying curcumstances. I believe the phrase for it is 'gallows humour'. I hope you understand my point here, if not, i'm in for a severe flaming!!

Sorry, I don't see any similarity between a photo of a tutorial siamese twins doll and the school or towers tragedy. If somebody's feelings have been offended - I must say sorry. Maybe you'll like this one -
http://www.commutator.spb.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=156. The word on it is "Obormoto", "Obormot" means "Lazy, stupid, rough person". Or is it "laughing at a poor vagabond?"

If you don't think it's funny - just say "I don't think it's funny". If you think it's funny - just say "Ha-ha-ha". The picture is placed in a forum - the goal is to listen to the opinions. But NOBODY has expressed his opinion there where the pic is placed. Why?

Hmmm. The section/thread where the pic is placed is a bit strange as its called Holy War.
Making fun of someones misfortune or physical appearance imo is not funny at all. Put yourself in their position. Would you find it funny. I think not.
Agreed that different people interprate different things as being funny but I like to think there is a universal feeling that thing's like this type of 'toilet humor' is not funny.
