WARNING: Several of the jokes here are morbid, fannish in nature, and possibly inappropriate. Out of respect for those of you on my flist who dislike the celebratory attitude surrounding Osama bin Laden's death, I have placed them all under a cut so you won't have to see any of them

Oh my god, I was almost wheezing with laughter in a few places. ONTD_P are a bunch of witty folks.

You got a wedding? I got a funeral.

Laughing for dayz.

Agree with the other commenter... I laughed till almost silent on that "He's dead Jim" tweet image... LOLOLOL And I agree with you, not happy about the death, but happy about the removal of a threat.

YYYYEEEESSSSS.

Twitter favorites:

"My guess: Obama has reached the Donkey Kong kill screen."

"Trump got rid of Gary Busey. Who did Obama ever get rid of? Um, oh, wait. Never mind."

"@CNN is calling it that Osama Bin Laden is dead. Good luck with that Presidential run next year, Republicans."

"#MomSays Glad the news is that Bin Laden is dead-the way the news was talking I thought we'd need Bruce Willis to blow up an asteroid!"

"USA: "England, your wedding was nice and I'mma let you finish, but we got the biggest news of ALL TIME""

"The girl married her Prince. The bad guy is dead. It's a real Disney weekend here on Earth."

It... kind of irritates me that people are squashing the celebrating, because it's not celebrating someone's death. It's catharsis. It's an emotional reaction to the news of a lifechanging event that can neither be controlled nor repressed. Let it happen. Let people have their own cathersis and then we'll talk serious business tomorrow.

That said, the "Trump card" one made me wheeze with laughter like a dying hyena.

I am pretty much going "Get off your high fucking horse, you jackasses."

Of course, it's a kind of carthasis for me as well -- I spent the end of 2001 until May 2006 subconsciously terrified that my father would be called back to the Middle East.

Wait until Osama finds out the 72 virgins aren't female.

NGL, I love Robin Williams' "71 Virginians, you asshole!" thing.
