Eh, I don't really get massive thrills out of making fun of the death of innocents, but maybe that's just me. I know Brits don't get offended as easily as Americans do, but I guess there are lines somewhere for everyone, and mocking the dead is past mine. I don't think that the image shown really mocks them, mind you. But it does marginalise the idea of remembering the lives that were lost, which is kind of meh for me. I don't really care on any major level, though. What people get their amusement out of is up to them.
On the note of America vs. Brits and how easily offended they are... George Michael being caught showing his dick off in a cubicle meaning he should suddenly be considered evil and lose all his sales? I never understood that. Apparently he's never done well in America since. I mean, I don't listen to much George Michael, but after reading about the whole thing somewhere I always found it to be a good way to look at the differences between how Brits and Americans differ in their reactions. Brits found it funny, Americans were horrified.
