Yes, but people laugh at 'real life tragedy' (including columbine and Virginia Tech) all the time, it's just how a lot of people deal with tragedy. Is MASH offensive because it makes light of war? or suicide?
It's great that you're looking into this and it's got you interested, but a 25 year old movie with a scene referencing a forty year old tragedy is not worth getting worked up over. -

Again, here is where we have a failure to communicate. Nobody is getting worked up. I've been calm and civil. I'm just telling you my opinion. I don't care how long ago it was. And people laughing about Columbine or Virginia Tech are sick. I don't agree with making light of war or suicide. I didn't get worked up. I told you I couldn't find the scene in Parenthood funny anymore and I said all of the reasons why. If you still don't get it, then I'm sorry you feel that way. And if you couldn't understand my second post about this, then you have missed the point completely. There's no point even talking about this then. -

And people laughing about Columbine or Virginia Tech are sick.
I leave you to the sadness of your life.. every 5 minutes there's a tragic shooting somewhere.. and every 5 seconds some kid dies of hunger which we could so
obviously

Must

Fine with you expressing your opinion, but why does everyone have to tell other people that want to express their opinions to calm down or something like that. Everyone does not have to feel as you do about everything.

Exactly. And if you want to take it a step further, why laugh at any scene in a movie that involves a gun? There are situations that happen everyday where people get killed by guns, or knives, or anything. So you shouldn't laugh at anything that involves a weapon of any kind. People choke to death on food too Can't laugh at that anymore either. Just stop watching comedies altogether because there is bound to be at least one scene connected to a tragedy. I know I took it far, but if you are going to do it you might as well make the full commitment right?

You are rightdamn near everything would be off limits for laughing if the OP applies his logic to it. This poster needs to hook up with the person on this board who is disturbed over the toddler being nude. Like I suggested to that poster, people like this need to create a group where they can meet up and be worried together about irrelevant s h ! t in movies that they find disturbing and offensive.

I have no problem watching it. It's a funny scene where Gil is trying to talk his kid down and it ends with Gil singing the Diarrhea song while being pulled back behind a police car. When I saw that in the theater, I was laughing so hard for about 10 minutes after that with tears coming out of my eyes. That doesn't happen with me often.
