I don't care enough to be offended but bad taste is still bad taste.

Gervais, the self-appointed Voltaire of comedy. I've got no objections to his material and used to find him funny but he's just turned into a tedious and irritating boorish twat.

Yes, I watched a few of his youtube channel videos and felt he'd do much better to only release one when he has something to say, rather than just blather on being boorish, as you say.

Funny enough, I used to find him boorish and irritating but now I find him funny!

Well. I posted it because it's darkly funny and yes, obviously incredibly tragic.

(By coincidence I spent the last few days hanging out with two younger guys from Afghanistan, many sad stories)

Humour always has a tiny bit of truth in it. Unfortunately, the bit of truth perceived by one person can be different to the next.

Which is why both racists and non-racists thought Alf Garnet was funny. Same with that pile of stones photo.

Gervais is right. But it's still problematic - see Stewart Lee vs Jeremy Clarkson 'just a joke' thing:

It might be more tragic than funny, but I drove past these on my way to the office earlier this week.

^ What am I missing? Houses, a street, bins, a fence, a hedge, a few trees. All seems pretty normal to the casual eye.

I think it's that 4 of the 6 houses are the same shade of grey

Grey is the new beige. 

Sporky

They were so grey that I feared I'd lost colour vision. 

Haych

Maybe it's camouflage so they become invisible in winter.
