Is it tasteless? Of course. It is obvious that many people here are offended. Let's remember that this is the RR and tasteless shit is posted everywhere here. If the offending picture pisses you off then move onto another thread.
It works the same as TV, radio, or anything else. Turn the shit off if you don't like it. I think Barman would have gotten the message if no one had responded to this thread.
And no, I don't find either picture remotely funny. I am not amused personally by children who are sick or otherwise made fun of. Bottom line, this is an open forum where people can post any sick shit they want to.
Except that ***** part. Man, I still don't get that one.
