the only thing funnier than the looting was the Superdome death count.

You've obviously never been directly involved in any tragedy of the magnitude of either of these events. By your tone I would venture to guess you've never been involved in anything one could call tragic.

Is the loss of all worldy possessions or the loss of loved ones for whatever reason "funny"?

it was just the way the media handled it which made it funny and surreal. you would have a white reporter dressed like he just left The Gap doing coverage and a bunch of black people standing behind him wearing torn clothing and looks of insanity and sleep deprivation on their face, and then the people in the news studio would ask him stuff like "have you seen any violence george?", "well, maria i spoke recently to a senior officers of the new orleans guard who informed me that armed gangs have taken control of bourben street". it did seem to me like the media exploited some angles of the tragedy for better ratings or maybe i just have a dark sense of humor.
