When is it appropriate to say...

I've been feeling slightly ashamed recently. Much as I'm a fan of the late Pope, I can't quite get this out of my head. (Please don't click on the link if you are easily offended). And it was only a few hours after the Colombia shuttle crash that people were emailed to find out that N.A.S.A stood for 'Need Another Seven Astronauts'. And only a few days after 9/11 that my father emailed me to tell me about PanAm's new service that flies you straight to your office.

How long do we have to wait after something happens that we can make fun of it? And is it really disrespectful or is it all part of dealing with the tragedy?
