Am I the only one who noticed this:
"How Porsche hacked the financial system and MADE A KILLING"
"Betting the wrong way, Adolf Merckle TOOK HIS LIFE."
I'm all for dark humor, but isn't it a little sketchy to joke about suicide in your headline? (I'm guessing the headline was intentional, but who knows).
- waqf 15y agoYou're all for dark humor? Forgive me, but if you don't even like wordplay on a "dark" topic, what kind of dark humor is it that you find acceptable?
- gavanwoolery 15y agoI think the line for me would probably be between reality and fictional circumstances. In this circumstance, a real person actually took their life, which (at least to me) is not really a joking matter. On the other hand, if there were some joke about a fictional character involving suicide, I probably would not be (greatly) disturbed. I understand that not everybody would have this reaction, but I have known people who tried to commit suicide so it is a bit different for me I guess.
