2flashgames.com is showing a video shot by a tourist of the tsunami in Phuket. Is that in bad taste?

I give it a week before somebody makes a "dodge the tsunami!!!" flash game.

What!? It doesn't take a week for someone to churn out a flash game.

But seriously, to say that it's bad taste just because it was a bad event is just stupid, your saying we shouldn't have records of bad events. So should we destroy all records of the Holocaust? No of course not. We are lucky we live in an age where we can so easily record pictures and videos, so in 100 years people will be able to see records of this tsunami like it was yesterday, and prevent it from being forgotten.

I didn't say it was in bad taste, I was just asking.

No, it's no different to what many world news channels do.

I don't know, but thank God it didn't hit Bangkok. :)

It is sad, however, what happened to Bhumi Jenson. :(
