Morbid humour

[Modeps]

There's something morbidly amusing about seeing fat people walk around in CT wearing "Connecticut Huskies" tee shirts.

 

Isn't this more like fat humor?

That's not morbid. Morbid humor is a dead baby joke.

I still don't see how it's morbid. Laughing at the irony of an overweight person wearing a "Connecticut Huskies" t-shirt, in my opinion, is not psychologically unhealthy or unwholesome.
Now dead baby jokes, while funny, are morbidly so.

To me, it's definatley unwholesome to be laughing at a fat person. I guess you and I are two different people after all.

I was just trying to let you know it was normal to laugh at that kind of irony. Alot of people would.
