Why Are People Getting So Touchy About Christopher Reeve Jokes?

I don't get it. He's open game when he's alive and handicapped but not when he dies and it won't affect him at all people get their panties into a bunch. I didn't see a public outcry when Rick James died and someone posted the, "I'm Rick Jame's Ghost, Bitch!" picture.

Man, why is everyone so PC nowadays?!?!

Understandable but some people's way of showing respect is to make a joke about it. It's how they choose to cope. If you're famous and you die, people are going to make jokes about it. That's how the world works. Everyone doesn't have to be so PC all the time.

Christopher Reeve was a shitty actor.

The Superman movies were shitty movies.

Christopher Reeve is more famous for being a professional cripple than he is for being a professional actor.

Anyone who gets offended at Christopher Reeve jokes is a politically correct pussy.

Are you referring to jokes like this?

Christopher Reeve T-Shirt


Personally I think it is a little out of taste.

I tend to make jokes to get through tragedy... Many people do. The people that don't understand it can go cry in a corner somewhere...

People have this warped perception that cripples are sacred and should never be bothered, etc.

Fuck the cripples.

I saw a piece on CNN shortly after he kicked it and the anchor had the balls to call him a HERO! Said he was a hero for his great efforts to help the handicapped. Yeah sure....after he became one of them!!! Made me want to throw up.

A lot of people thought he was a hero. So what? He's spent more time on and invested more money on his cause than most people would even think of doing.

Reeve worked hard fighting his cause, what have you done for yours?

Hey, no skin off my ass if you twits want to disrespect the dead five minutes after they're planted. Knock yourselves out.

Just shows a little further to the rest of us who the distasteful shits are here, that's all.

Carry on.
