How To Avoid Making Fun of Anna Nicole Smith
After decades of cracking wise at Anna Nicole Smith's expense, it can be hard for us to put the brakes on the goof-train simply because she's slightly less responsive today than she was a week ago. Nonetheless, there's a majority that find jokes about the recently dead tasteless, lending credence to that old adage, comedy=tragedy+time. So it's probably best to wait a week until no one gives a sh*t about ANS again before busting out the macabre witticisms. In the meantime, here's a handy list of tragedies that are older, and therefore more appropriate to snark-off on today in place of Anna Nicole:
1. Gerald Ford's Death
2. 9/11
3. The Kennedy Assassinations
4. The Oklahoma City Bombings
5. The Challenger Disaster
6. The Lindbergh Kidnapping
7. The Great Chicago Fire
8. The Trail of Tears
9. The Caesar Assassination
10. The Destruction of Pompeii
See, with the addition of time, those once-sacred cows are now funnier than a barrel of monkeys slipping on banana peels. On the other hand, there are a few things that are actually more taboo than Anna Nicole's death. If you're thinking about making fun of any of these things, you're actually better off taking a chance on an Anna Nicole joke:
1. Martin Van Buren's Death
2. 311
3. Anna Nicole McGillicuddy's Death
4. The Destruction of Ellen Pompeo
5. Clowns
6. The Upcoming Death of David Duchovny
7. Anything About Abraham Lincoln Other than His Assassination
8. Anna Nicole Abdul-Jabbar's Death
9. The Grape-Stomping Lady
10. Pope Anna Nicole XVI's Birth
