Well, as a mere "guest" I don't suppose my opinion counts for much; but for whatever it's worth, I find the previous "joke" in very poor taste.

Yes. POOR TASTE IS OF THE ESSENCE OF "FUNNY."

Obsession with good taste destroys humor.

IMO, of course. But my opinion is a direct revelation from the Divine. (Hey, if fundamentalist preachers can make that claim, why can't I?)
