NY Daily News With A Swing....And A Miss

This probably won't be a popular opinion, but my biggest problem with this tweet is that it's not even remotely funny. Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't endorse making jokes at the expense of a woman who succumbed to one of the most diabolical diseases known to man and whose untimely death came just days before living out her dream of seeing herself on television. Cancer is not even close to being a laughing matter. However, if you are going to shamelessly attempt to make it one then at least make it worth it. At least make the people who read it feel bad about getting a chuckle out of it. If you're going to be an insensitive prick then don't a lazy insensitive prick. This dumbass post was less of a "joke" and more of a blatant attempt at getting people to react by pretending that being offensive is the same thing as being humorous. Using a hackneyed expression from a game show to make light of the passing of someone that was a week away from appearing on said game show is more than just distasteful. It's so cheap that even a 'Daily Double' couldn't make it worthwhile.
