I guess that would be funny if the actual content of the tape wasn't about mass murder of innocent Americans. Maybe in a few years this may be funny, but I doubt it, and I don't find any humor about the contents of that tape. Now, the slaughter of the Taliban and al-Queda, that's hilarious. Gimme some of those.

Dark humor is the best kind. I think most Americans are ready to find humor where they can in the grim aftermath of Sept. 11. I saw this week that Jay Leno is making bad jokes about Bin Laden, and he's as mainstream as comedy gets, so we're finally past the point where comedians are earnest, horrified, and unable to crack wise.
