Tragedy vs Comedy

[tater]

Mel Brooks once said: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die."

This is comedy by that definition I think.

A woman wearing a burkha (file photo). A Muslim woman has died after her burkha became caught in a go-kart she was driving
A young Muslim woman had died after her burkha became snagged in a go-kart.
The 24-year-old woman, who has not yet been named, died a terrifying death today when a fluttering part of her burkha became caught in the wheels of a go-kart she was driving near the town of Port Stephens, north of Sydney.
The Muslim clothing the woman was wearing flew back as she sped around the track and part of it became entangled in the go-kart's wheels.
She was strangled in a second and crashed the vehicle.

I LOLed.

No, I don't think some random woman should die, but wearing baggy clothes on a go-kart? WTF? I'd laugh if it was some American kid wearing too baggy pants, too.
