Castro's Fall: NOT FUNNY


I am a big fan of The Daily Show. Very Big. Thursday night during the closing sequence they showed a news clip of Fidel Castro's fall that resulted in a broken arm and leg. Since it was sandwiched between two funny scenes, it came off as humorous, when in fact it was not funny at all. I am disappointed at the producers of the show for allowing something as distasteful as this on the air. Normally TDS is nothing but a class act.

UPDATE: Last night Saturday Night Live also showed the same clip, this time associated with Castro "getting shot" by John Kerry. Still, NOT FUNNY. I don't get it.
