Would you have said the same thing if someone would have joked about his cancer diagnosis? They would have been ripped to shreds (rightfully so).
I agree we need jokesters here, but a life altering virus isn't the right time.
I just didn't get the joke.
I mean, I like a pun as much as the next person, but "Guardasil Vax" and "Vagisil" aren't close to each other at all. You might as well ask, "Why does a 12 year old boy need a vaporizer? Or a vacuum? Or Valium?"
I'm okay with joking about life altering viruses, as long as they're good jokes.
I don't suppose you saw the South Park episode, where a well meaning philanthropist decides that what poor children need is personal assistants? Ie, aides.
Or, as it sounded to everyone listening to him...
Now that's funny!
(And yes, we joked a lot with my mother-in-law about her cancer diagnosis, before she died. Laughter may not be actual medicine, but it definitely made her feel better.)
