@ A Siris: I can see why it would be in bad taste to find humor in the unfortunate situations of others. However I have a question for you. According to your logic, I laugh incredibly hard at the misfortune of a close friend of mine who can't open portals to save her life. This could be seen as mean on my part because I find joy in her misfortune. However I only find it utterly hilarious because when it happens I know it is temporary and she finds it downright funny as well. Maybe it has to do with the intent of our laughter instead of the situation itself? Perhaps a combination of both.
