LOL

The comparison is not a judgement of Mr. Snow’s character or beliefs, nor is it an attempt to capitalize on his tragic death for a cheap laugh. It’s just a humorous physical comparison.

And before anybody gets their panties in a bunch, I am a conservative. Card-carrying, as a matter of fact. And I think it’s funny. I think most of us feel that way. However, there are a few on BOTH sides who will take any opportunity to turn this into a political argument. So I say to that minority: get your soapboxes, repeatedly smack yourselves in the head and crotch with them, and leave. Go to Daily KOS or townhall.com and start something over there. That’s all. Quit reading into it. ALL OF YOU. To quote Sigmund Freud, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” Think about it.

Would you show a JFK autopsy picture next to a celebrity doppelganger? No,
because it’s tasteless, meanspirited and disrespectful. How about a looks like picture of Karen Carpenter as she was wasting away from anorexia?

If this was the Howard Stern Show or some other area where tasteless is encouraged, I’d say OK. I still wouldn’t like it, but that’s their gig. I don’t think this site is THAT type of site.

There’s a difference between laughing at death and laughing at a dying man.

Hmmmm, McCain got bom-bom-bom-bomb Iran from Max Headroom ? Room ?

The funny comes from the juxtaposition of images, not whether those portrayed are quick or dead.

As for timing – hell, 15 minutes after reading Frank Sinatra was dead I had a webpage up with the lyrics for New Corpse, New Corpse, complete with can-can dancing animated skeletons. Too soon?

Yep, look just alike. And while not a fan of shrub and his merry band of thieves, I think Tony Snow DID have a sense of humor and would smile. I have cancer and I’d much rather see people smile when I’m gone. Life is FAR too short not to have a sense of humor.

Time is not the only factor in how soon you can talk about a dead person. Likability is just as important. You think anybody said, “give it a year” when they were talking about Saddam Hussein? And no, Tony Snow is not as bad as Saddam, but he chose to take the job of knowingly lying, LYING, to the american people. Frankly, this simple comparison of his face to someone else’s is incredibly tame in my book.

The pictures are fine, the comparison is harmless, there is no subtext even. This isn’t even cruel. It was the most vanilla comparison on this site. There’s not any reason to suspect Tony even wouldn’t have thought this funny.

He’s a public figure–he gets treated publicly. If you don’t like public figures being lampooned, you belong to the wrong species. We’re humans and we do this. We always have, we always will. And it’s mostly appreciated. Look up at the rating this comparison got. Doesn’t look like many people are with you on this one. Public figures get public sentiments, and they get them on the public’s timeframe. And you? You’re just a voice in the crowd.

Ok, I give up–what is even remotely offensive? Because Max Headroom was an inhumane monster who tortured children and kicked puppies and so Snow looking like him is slanderous? If that’s it, I totally missed that episode of Max Headroom.

This may have been the ONLY lookalike posted on this site so far that wasn’t insulting at all–but that didn’t stop you from getting sand in your panties. Or did you have the sand in there to begin with?

Where oh where is this grievous offense that has so damn many bleeding hearts beating there breasts in sympathy?

It’s not like the photo was of Snow’s post-mortum, and was captioned “Tony Snow’s cancer-ridden corpse looks just like Jabba the Hutt’s colonoscopy!”

The pic captures a vibrant, happy Tony, and compares him to a — is “beloved” to strong a term? — television character phenom of the 80s. Where’s the offense?

NOBODY said it’s a horrible picture. NOBODY said it didn’t look like Max Headroom. He certainly does. Again, for the 150th time for those slow learners out there, the TIMING is not appropriate for someone recently deceased be it Tony Snow, Tim Russert, George Carlin or ANY other public figure on the left, right, or center who leaves behind a grieving family. I would be saying the exact same thing if it were Russert (a liberal) Give it a year.
