" OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING NOTHING TO JOKE ABOUT
Glenn Gaslin, Daily Press
April 29, 1995
The funny thing about last week's Oklahoma City bombing is that
there's nothing funny about it.
The usual perpetrators of topical puns and off-color humor - stand-up
comedians, talk-show hosts and office smart-alecks - have nothing to
say on the subject. ...
The earliest attempts to mine cheap giggles can be witnessed on the
Internet. Two days after the bombing, a discussion group called
alt.tasteless.jokes began to swell with gruesome parodies of "Oh, What
a Beautiful Mornin'," a song from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical
"Oklahoma!" They were accompanied by a few day-care-center jokes.
This started an on-line debate about whether the subject was too
touchy - even for a forum entirely devoted to low humor.
