While they're equivalent from a monetary perspective, the line between good taste and poor taste is gray and blurry. There's a big difference between a website that informs and makes money from ad revenue, and one that hocks crappy merch which makes light of a serious situation, especially to those affected. It's a bit hard to see the distinction as it relates to this swine flu nonsense, since it's already an enormous, alarmist media circus. But imagine you bought a shirt in '91 that said "I survived the AIDS epidemic by wrapping my willy!" Would you wear it today? And how would you feel about where your money went?
