I was linked here from elsewhere, and it's raised some good issues. It seems like macros have become an 'acceptable' (note air quotes) way for people on the internet to be incredibly insensitive or offensive. I used to have a macro community on my flist, because I thought it'd be funny. An influx of macros featuring a wrestler and loads of 'choke a bitch'-type jokes came up on it once, and seeing as I didn't know who this wrestler was, I googled him. Turns out he strangled members of his family to death. Really hilarious. I defriended the community after that.

I know I have a very warped sense of humour myself, and often feel guilty at laughing at things I shouldn't. Perhaps I should think a bit harder about what exactly I'm laughing at in future. Thanks for the eye-opener.
