There is a frightening laugh. And 'what we do when we see someone get hurt. Banana peels. Somersaults and tumbles. The comedy of the past, the circus clown.
But, on closer inspection, if the fall was true: that the vertebrae are broken, broken bones, blood trickling down, pain.
It makes it fun, if you think about it. Unless you really want to hurt the victim, the victim of your laughter.

TV satire that offends
I am a priest I'm tired of mud
a priest. A priest of the Catholic Church. One of the many Italian priests. I am following with interest and anxiety the story of my country. Not having a magic wand to solve the problems facing Italy, I do my duty because there is around in less than a few tears and some smiles more.
am a man who like so many struggle, suffer, hope. Who strives every day to be more human and less animal. I am a man who respects everyone and asks to be respected. That does not offend and would appreciate not being insulted, discredited. From anyone. Unnecessarily. Publicly. Cowardly.
I am a priest who works and can give joy, bread, hope to so many people mistreated, ignored, held on the sidelines. A priest who loves his Church and the Pope A priest who does not want the privileges and does not claim to be Christian who does not want, that will never be pulled back to give a hand to those who believe not.
A priest who, before Mass in the evening, burn incense in the church to remove the stench given off by the tons of rubbish accumulated over the years on the edge of the parish in a so-called cdr and that is increasing in recent days.
am a priest who gets angry for the inefficiencies of the state against the weak and defenseless. Which organizes after-school care for children that the school fails to interest and pay the bills of light and gas because the homes of the poor do not become slums. I am a priest, not a pedophile.
the world know that there are men who have an interest in children and, as a man, I would die of shame. I know that they are a lot more than they believe the gullible. I also know little or nothing has been done for groped to understand and treat MISUSE curse.
sores pedophilia. Frightening. Cruel. Shameful. Among those who were guilty Of this crime, there are fathers, uncles, grandparents, professionals, workers, young, old and even priests.
Thursday evening, transmission Annozero Michele Santoro. Many Italians watching the program. It discusses Silvio Berlusconi. At the end comes, as usual, Mr. Vauro with his cartoons, which should make everyone laugh and instead often mortify and kill many innocent soul. But we should not say. It is politically incorrect. It's satire. The new idol before which to bow. The satire, which is given the right to some say, offend, smear, slander others without the risk of any kind. A cartoon represents the Holy Father who spoke to Mr Berlusconi said: "If he likes both the minors, he can always make you a priest." The others, including Michele Santoro, laughing. What is there to laugh I can not understand it. But they are like that, and laugh. They laugh a terrible tragedy of innocent people and raped. They laugh at me and my brothers around the world committed themselves to carry the cross with those who can not do it alone. They laugh, knowing that so many people watching television at that moment you feel offended in what he holds most dear and suffering. Suffers from the Holy Father and offended because the lie, that does not want to die, still manages to triumph. To beat Berlusconi, reference is made to slander. And the others laugh.
I go to bed disappointed and saddened, more and more convinced that the slander and lies - as decrepit as the witch or the inventions of some Battut and some haughty journalist-TV presenter - you can never build anything new, stable . The next day I discovered that the RAI, finally, someone has run this time outraged. I just hope now Vauro and Santoro and someone else that I do not remember do not, they, the victims. And that in Italy there is more than someone who starts to come forward and, without laughing, says flatly that you can not with impunity continue to tarnish the honest citizens of Italy and the world who are priests.
