It's called #darkhumour. Not everyone enjoys dark humour, but for those of us who do like dark humour, this is very funny.

Those who don't enjoy dark humour should do themselves a favour and block @newsthump

@2legged @peterbrown @newsthump There is appropriate dark humour. This was not that.

@smilingheretic @2legged @peterbrown You aren't necessarily supposed to throw your headback and laugh at everything we do. Sometimes the appropriate response is "Ooof!" and no laugh at all. Satire isn't always about jokes (though it often is), sometimes it shines a light on uncomfortable subjects and mocks those responsible.
