If you find it offensive, be offended and vocal about it. It serves to further entertain those that enjoy the irreverent humor around here. Everyone will die of something. Being offended by jokes about death will not lengthen anyone's life. Being offended rarely does anything positive.

What exactly is the positive result of offending?
In a thread I started about a design on my car that turn into a discussion of a cause I believe in, WTF is the positive side of offending me, what I believe in and the very sad plight of those effected by AIDS?
Your premise is it's OK to offend but not OK to be offended? You seek to willfully offend me about something I believe in but I'm not allowed to be offended? Why are you right and I'm wrong?
That's idiotic.
The fact that you would make fun of someone's disease or cause of death behind their back says a lot about you. Just because you are not at the funeral doesn't make it OK. It doesn't become funny just because the wake is over.
Again, no amount of internet logic can justify what you are making fun of. None.
"It's just Dorkiphus" is a very weak attempt at an excuse.
Again, why can't a guy have a belief and support a cause without a bunch of shit from purportedly a group of adults? Seriously, grow up.
