Support NeoGAF

[ferr]

So tonight I turned my computer on, opened my webbrowser and after a while of catching up on my facebook, I opened up GAF. The first post I see just left me shocked and without words.
I'm just going to link to the post but it involves a "joke" about the Hindenburg disaster in 1937.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39838156&postcount=71

I'm not a citizen of Lake Hurst, New Jersey and I was pretty young when this incident happened so it didnt affect me that much at the time, but I was smart enough to know this was a disaster and should not be laughed about ever.
When I informed the person this was about German passenger airship that caught fire where 35 people were killed, I was actually hoping he did not know where this picture was from. But he did know, and he just found it freakin hilarious. He then informed me that its a parody about the word crackerjacks that is being used for so much lately.

Now I dont mind a bit of crude humor, but for me this was a tad much.....

How can people be so clueless, or am I just overreacting? I usually try to just put it behind me when I see something stupid like that, but for some reason this just hit me pretty hard.

Edit: just noticed the person got some serious backlash from another person regarding how crude it is.

I'd just like to say that my parents were killed in gotham city when I was a child, leading me to a life of fighting crime while dressed as a bat. I don't mind people admiring me, but for me this was a tad much having to look at your offensive avatar.....

 

[soultron]

This thread is about to bomb harder than the Hindenburg.

 

[TheKaeptain]
