• I'm not going to lie, I like close to the knuckle comedy HOWEVER you're joking about his life here.

    Armstrong is a bad man for what he did, you make choices in life, but nobody chooses cancer.

    To sit there and snigger about wishing he'd been killed by it in some flippant remark is ridiculous. Don't forget, he's someone's son, ex-husband, boyfirend and friend all rolled into one, the same as countless others before him who have succomed to cancer.

    It's like the Grandma who's just been handed the death penalty for drug smuggling. Is she a stupid woman who knew the consequences of said action? Yes. Would I crack a joke about how she'll be shot and her family will be devastated? Absolutely not.

    though having an avatar that is a joke about paedophilia is acceptable...

    so is anything fine as a subject for humour, except death?

    to be honest, we can joke about n̶e̶a̶r̶l̶y̶ anything. the problem is that each of us has our own particularly areas of sensitivity.

    i was present when my mother died of cancer, i held another friend's hand as he died of it, but i find it acceptable to laugh and joke about it. laughter can be a human mechanism to cope with abhorrent things
