In times of crisis, people have widly different reactions: some will sit in front of the TV watching the reports, sometimes for hours; others may call their friends and family and talk about everything going on.
On occasion, there will be someone who starts making jokes. I’ve been known to do this. One of my mechanisms is humor. I’ve even been known to make jokes that border on the profane in my attempt to laugh at absolutely black situations. I love black comedy; it’s an under appreciated artform.
So when Lum the Mad, a programmer and blogger, got together with Ubiq and created Katrina: The Gathering, I just knew I’d have to mirror the site for myself. It’s aboslutely wrong in all the right ways. Poking fun not at the tragedy itself, but at the beureaucrats and pundits who left themselves wide open with their bumbling and incompetence. No one gets spared, which is good, because they all deserve their turn in the Dunking Well.
If you can laugh at the worst situations, click the link and enjoy. If not, then maybe you’re better off leaving well enough alone.
Note: This is a local mirror for myself and the few people who come to visit. It’s unauthorized and may on any given day be missing the latest cards. Check out Lum’s blog if you want to see the original site. On his page, the link can be found on the right-hand side.
