I love the sense of humanity on display at this children's playground in Northern Ireland; it an inflatable slide in the form of a half sinking ship which tips a nod to the Titanic anniversary this year. Apparently quite a few of the good burgers of Lough Shore aren't happy though, complaints have been received and many say that the amusement is in bad taste. Personally I think bad taste is underrated, irreverence is just as much part of our human make-up as grief, we should accommodate both.
It happened a hundred years ago, for heaven's sake! Not even my dad was alive then...
ReplyDeleteCB, well quite, personally I'm still mourning the Permian extinction.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we need a commemorative event...

ReplyDeleteCB, at the very least a TV variety show featuring lots of Shakespearian actors bathed in spotlights and talking in very deep serious voices.
