Default Cool or sick?

Some people take very seriously the possibility of being doomed to an

that sensationalize or take lightly that possibility.


For those fringe elements of society, I sympathize. I'm not seeing the
relevance here, though. Jay's original premise was that he wasn't sure
if he approved or disapproved of the G3 crash display. To me, that
display hits a lot closer to home than the typical cheesy Halloween
display with ghosts & witches etc.


Perhaps we should eliminate Halloween altogether, to ensure that we avoid
offending anyone who is uncomfortable with terrible things being portrayed,
lightly or otherwise.


Your patronizing tone aside, the suggestion is absurd. I never said I
found the crash scene offensive, just in poor taste. Maybe I assume too
much when I assume most pilots (like yourself) would also find it
tasteless.
