Not sure I understand where the funny, ironic part is supposed to be, but I'll give it a try:

>God creates Higgs
>Higgs travels back in time to create boson
>Higgs-boson creates gravity
>gravity creates big bang, galaxies, stars and planets
>planet creates Darwin
>Darwin creates dinosaurs
>gravity kills dinosaurs
>dinosaurs create fossil fuels
>man creates planes to defy gravity
>man uses fossils to create jet fuel
>jet fuel can't melt steel beams
>gravity lets man drop out of plane
>man lands on "notthehighstreet.com" building
>neither Higgs nor Darwin were born on the highstreet
>the circle closes
>itsaconspiracy.jpg
>ancientaliens.jpg

Frankly i don't see the sense in this.

Apparently you're laughing at the fate of someone desperate enough to have the galls to climb on an airplane undercarriage, and infortunate enough to fall to his death, probably unconscious, after 11 hellish hours of hypoxia and freezing cold.

All because the victim met his demise on the rooftop of a company whose name makes no sense to me.

Silence is so underrated...

oh FFS .!

he landed on a building called notonthestreet.com . has the world gone so politicaly correct that no one gets irony anymore Ugh

and anyway at the end of the day it was his choice to do what he did .no one forced him to do it .obviously had this stupid notion that by coming here the streets were paved with gold and that he would be living a life of a king .

sorry no sympathy what so ever

Nothing to do with political correctness- I just didn't find that funny or ironic enough.

Since the man illegally emigrated from South Africa, I would have found it ironic and funny if he had fallen through the roof of the South African Embassy in London, or the Home Office Immigration Authority.

But the Notonthestreet building...simply not funny enough, but maybe that's just me and my sense of humour is just terrible.

Certain humour is funny only to people who share the hateful ideas behind it. What?

Dark humor isn't necessarily about hatred, just a morbid sense for irony.
Have you never at least smirked at one of the Darwin-Awards stories?

Zimmy, he was not a fool doing something stupid. He was a desperate person doing something as brave as desperate.

Had he been a base jumper, I would have laughed at what he did to himself for nothing. But I never laugh at unvoluntary victims.

It's like laughing at the people who drown in the Mediterranean aboard floating wrecks. They aren't there for fun or the thrills, they're there becasue that insane death risk is better than what they leave behind.

I always assumed that by African standards, South Africa was a pretty safe and wealthy country; had the flight taken off from Syria or Iraq it would have been an entirely different thing.
Now we don't know if this guy was maybe a desperate refugee who made it to SA and then was trying to get away, or just a fool who wanted to fly for free.
While of course this is a human tragedy, there was no racism intended on my side- it was just that for lack of information, we both were assuming different things: you thought of him as a poor refugee, while I thought he was just a jerk trying to save money for a flight ticket.
It would have been better to wait unti further information was released, but then again, dark humor is at its best when it's still within the "too soon" timeframe.
But then again, it wasn't me who started.

I guess at -60° C we can safely assume the colour was blue.

news just in ...the company have just changed their name to ...notonmyroof.com

look im still gonna see the dark humorous side of the tragedy . but such is my nature I always see the dark side of so life get over it if you don’t like what I posted i`m sorry but at the end of the day tough ****
this is oope and within reason we can post what we want
I`ve neither been racist, sexist, ageist . I was just pointing out the irony (as I see it of some chap whatever his colour/creed) doing such a stupid thing . I simply cannot believe that someone would go to such lengths to do such an idiotic thing even though I know it’s happened in the past .

Get over it peeps
Always look on the dark side of life dee doo dedoo

For the irony - *shrug*

I have seen a guy put a spear through another guy's head then hang around because he wanted to ride on an ambulance. These strange thought patterns are really common in Africa and I will put it down to a lack of education (bit like how kids will want to wear cardboard wings and think they can fly if they jump off the roof of the house).
As a result, I am not at all surprised that someone thought they could stow away inside a plane and probably had no idea of the conditions they will face.

The one that I found really amusing was the guy who does his first sky driving jump and the instructor strapped to his back dies of a heart attack. (He did get down safely).

Hahahaha.
Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, in that order, are the three most violently crime ridden cities in the world per capita. (Not exactly what I was looking for but gives you an idea.)
The Zulus are incredibly xenophobic and I have known them to attack and beat up other Zulus for being too black and dark like a Nigerian.

Ha! Jason, the only problem I saw with the joke was I didn't know what "on the high street" meant. Had to look it up, seems it's something that's said around the U.K. area.

Apparenlty is a British idiom about the city's main shopping street , it also didn't made any sense to me. Compounded by the fact that here in my country people dies trying to reach our shores in the craziest ways while our youth emigrates to places like the UK... kinda crazy. We go out and people even poorer and more desperate take mafia controlled delerict boats and try their luck with the Gibraltar strait or hazardous 150 and 250 miles travels costing them 1 to 2 years of savings.

Touchy subject.

In the immortal words of Al Yankovich, "irony is not coincidence."

Irony: “Upon the murderer I invoke this curse – whether he is one man and all unknown,
Or one of many – may he wear out his life in misery to miserable doom!” - Oedipus

Coincidence: "Rain on a wedding day"

Irony: "Britain's largest dog named 'Tiny'."

Coincidence: "Poor, desperate man falls out of plane and lands on building of company named 'not on high street'."

Irony: "Poor, desperate man survives trip in plane's wheel well, accidentally stows away on another flight going back home."
