This is hardly HN material, but this article included the best application of the Cloud To Butt browser extension I've seen yet. http://i.imgur.com/J230zHa.png

Considering the upvotes, it seems to be of interest to the HN crowd. It was certainly interesting for me. That said, "my butt spread far and wide, killing people ..." is hilarious.

  Sorry, to be clear, the article is great; my post was juvenile.

As a long-time user of the Cloud-to-Butt extension, I appreciate your comment. Good to know I'm not alone. :).

Agreed! I installed it a long time ago and always forget that it's there until I run across a substitution, and can't help but chuckle. Yeah, it's sophomoric, but it makes me laugh and I like that.

I find it fascinating that when sufficient time has passed, it becomes acceptable to joke/make light of an event that killed 1000+ people. By the way, I don't make this comment to embarrass or shame you; just making an observation. Sometimes I too grin at such jokes, but reflecting on the very real lives lost (and the countless family/friends of those who were connected to them) quickly sobers me. And thanks for mentioning the plugin; downloaded! (I don't care for its use in this particular article but I'm sure it'll give me some chuckles when browsing tech articles)

  I think people just have different modes when it comes to tragedy. The first is empathy, where you think "holy shit a thousand lives ended suddenly." The second is a sort of abstraction where the people are more like characters in a story. I don't think people who tell dead baby jokes are actually thinking of how terribly sad it would be for an infant they loved to die.

    I think it requires a certain callousness of form though, you know reading the joke and then linking it to others. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it; I just think that it's an interesting observation that in a different culture no one would make the joke. Probably the dettached medium of communication (internet, anonymous) also has to do with this.
