so you think that in a couple of years, it's suddenly OK to make jokes about 9-11? In public? Here in holland, a couple of years ago an El-Al Boeing 747 crashed into some appartments in the Bijlmermeer. People made jokes about that event. They made small jesting songs about it. I thought it was sick. Making fun about the fact that several people lost their lives because of an accident and even more people rendered home-less because of it. Jesting about tragedy is amoral and NOT appropriate.
Censorship isn't the answer here. People must be given a choice between what they percieve to be right and wrong. Take away that choice, and you take away the concepts of right and wrong themselves. Let people play this game and decide for themselves whether it is apalling or not. I for one will not play such a distasteful game, but that is only my choice.
If anything, this game will send out clear signals to society as to who the real sickos that enjoy mocking people's suffering are.
