Gary Coleman's Casket

Would you make beer in this?

**JohnnyO** · 06-07-2010, 03:00 PM

Absolutely. I'd make my "Wit you talkin' bout" in there.

One of the funniest things I've seen in a LONG time.

**Yooper** · 06-07-2010, 03:05 PM

That is just so wrong.

I'm moving this to DRMM, because I'm not sure it's appropriate in the technical discussion forum. (But I must admit that I laughed out loud, for real)

I'm not here to be a killjoy or ruffle feathers, but I gotta ask, because I find these to be in bad taste. Why are the jokes about Gary Coleman so soon after his death acceptable? I also heard elsewhere he died of a "different stroke". Isn't this a little insensitive?

Humor is one of the better ways to get through the pain.

Our family tends to laugh as much as we cry at funerals. What better way to celebrate a comedian than with a joke? Even better, one that is a little funny?

When George Carlin died, everyone was making jokes about the "7 words you can't say in heaven" and "he's a frisbee on the roof now." Those were his jokes, and people were paying tribute to him.

These seem more like jokes at Gary Coleman's expense. *shrug* I dunno, maybe I'm being overly sensitive but I brought these up to my wife and she had the same reaction.

Not really at his expense. I don't think he minds all that much now.

A detriment to his legacy perhaps? Nope, can't be that. He work that over as best he could with the VH1 reality show appearances.

Anyway, dark humor is usually in bad taste.

I want to feel bad and ashamed about this, but... Nope. It's just too funny

Guess I just don't see the humor in it. I mean I get the joke but I don't get the giggles hearing it. Very well, I leave you all to it. Carry on.
