Insensitive humor

When Japan was struck by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011, it was tragic, with thousands of people killed. However, it appears that actor Gilbert Gottfried thought it was appropriate to make a Twitter joke about Japan. Worse yet, the prank involved “bringing the beach to them.” This is too cringe-worthy to put into words, and we hope Gilbert learned his lesson about making such ill-advised jokes as a result of the overwhelmingly negative response. Insensitive humor.
