Among the opinions, other users indicated that a “simple joke” should not be given so much importance, while still others indicated that comedians resort to these “bad jokes” to become famous and earn money.
‘It’s too soon to do it’, ‘It’s not funny’, ‘How can they make fun of something so tragic’, ‘It’s impressive what people like to see and what they make fun of’, ‘What they have to do to swallow and have them look at it again’.
