hmmm.
It certainly is black humour, but he does have a point to make. I find the woman who called the 5 MILLION dollars she got in compensation for her husband who died in the towers a "sick joke" (becuase it was too small) even more offensive. He's not so much making fun of the victims as thier reactions, some of which have been pretty damn disgusting. Good on him by standing behind it either way.

As for NYT not publishing it, i guess considering thier audiance it wasen't a bad move, at the same time, media publications have to show some guts every now and then.

*ducks for cover*
