That's the thing.

Nobody here is making fun of MJF or disabled people. We're laughing at the JOKE, not the poor person struck with this terrible disease. Of Course everyone loves the guy and wishes that a cure can be found (via stem cells or other ways). No one here would go up to MJF, point and laugh.

The Joke itself, not MJF, is what is funny. For example:

"Hey what happens when "MJF hugs an apple tree? All the apples fall off" is not a funny joke. It's just plain boring.

But am image or illustration of "MJF + Apple Trees = Apples on ground", is funny. (The etcha-a-sketch one is even better). It's the same joke of course, just told in a more creative way. It's a still image of MJF, not a video of him with a tremor, so it forces you the viewer to consider it first as a puzzle. Then when you "get it", you may laugh, and then feel guilty for laughing, and then laugh even more.

*snicker*.
