Sick as in the Aussie meaning like awesome or wicked, and pronounced "sieck mate, sieck!" or do you just mean plain old missionairy sick?

Yeah, you have to write more than 'sick'. Because 'sick' is actually the point of them.
Normally we'd be waiting for the first person to:
A . Read the title and see that people have made jokes about this tragedy. (Just like people do for every other tragedy, although this will somehow escape their memory and they will be 'shocked' 'dissapointed' and so on.)
B . Click on the thread and read the jokes anyway, with slightly flared nostrils.
C . Dash out an angry post declaring the jokes offensive. (Observation powers in these types are often acute.)
and, possibly, if lucky..
D . Finish off with a
mini-flounce, usually with some angry capitals, emphatic italics or to really make a point - start a thread and sell a large server very quickly.

I don't see what anyone gets from these jokes. It lowers my opinion of the posters tremendously. I remember classmates making jokes about similar such tragic cases when I was a kid... even then they usually got told to fuck up (and that was by other kids).

I agree, Schotte, this is insensitive and cruel. I've been ignoring this thread ever since Editor Bob started it, but I think it's time I voice my opinion. I hope EB shows some maturity on this matter and delete this thoughtless thread immediately.

I generally like sick jokes so I haven’t said anything in this thread yet. OK the Elton John pic is funny, I think because it takes the piss out of him and not the situation with the girl.
I do have to say im surprised about some of the things that have been said here, if everything is free game is it ok if I start a thread taking the piss out of Pakis or saying things such as…..
What’s the difference between a kid from Dunblane and a sieve?
A sieve has less holes in it.
Its not really funny is it?
oh, get off your high horse! You have never ever made a joke about the misfortune of another person or event?

Good Grief! Words almost fail me – but, only almost!
I can well imagine, that sick, paedophiles, and other scum of the earth – might just find the perverse humour of some of the things written on this thread, ---funny!
Personally, I find much of what has been written here absolutely disgusting.
A little 4 year old British girl is missing, and here, on a British site - are chatters, who obviously have nothing better do in life than content their perverse little minds, by making ( so called) fun of the situation.
And, to those who have played “ follow my leader� – I must say , you sound like a load of silly kids at a teddy bears picnic!
GROW UP!
SHAME on the lot of you!

I would do the same to my best friend. He would punch me and I would punch him back and then we would go out for beers. Of course, I would pay because he would be too busy crying into his and he would be suddenly broke.
Now that was funny.

Shame on you!!! It's a relief that someone finally introduced some sanity and principles to this thread. Why do you always try and patronise people here? Whenever anyone shows some sensitivity or writes in a touching/humane way, you instantly come crashing in and patronise them. People like you make others afraid to write with integrity and express themselves, as you and your like are always ready to cheaply demean it. Anyone can see how easy it is for you to do that on a written discussion forum. Please, I beg you for the sake of this site - let people get upset. Let them show principles and passion. This site would be all the more interesting if people could show that without your embittered comments instantly appearing afterwards.

These is nothing new about these jokes, there is a long and distinguished history of Black Comedy, Gallows Humour, or just generally off colour jokes going back centuries.
It's even more ironic that you comment about this being a "British" website and "British" couple, as Britain has been one of the more notorious sources of this form of humour over the course of history (even shakespeare had a go at it)...
