250k to go and see a sunk ship that there is endless video of online in a tiny metal pod controlled by a Xbox controller.
No way.

Sorry Ousie, I don't think any of this is funny.
And that kid at the concert is just weird, sad.

I agree the whole situation is not funny but there are so many ridiculous and obscene factors in this entire story that I feel it's worthy of at least some eye rolls.
As far as the kid at the concert, it's a step kid - who I can't help but wonder if he is left out of the will, or at least has someone overseeing his trust in which he won't be seeing much money quickly nor easily.
Well, at least he got a woman to ask if she can sit on him. My first thought was JFC this is what our world has come to.

Sorry for making jokes of questionable taste. I kind of hesitated too.
The even sadder part is, why the heck are we giving so much attention to like 4 evil rich people who fucked around and found out why it’s a bad idea to go on a leisure tour of the titanic in a little submersible with questionable/no regulations and quality control.
The bigger story this week shoulda been the migrant boat that capsized in the Mediterranean, leaving hundreds of refugees dead/still unaccounted for, but got comparatively much less attention and resources.
If only all those poor brown folks were actually rich white folks instead, eh?

there’s a thread for that, Ousie
(it’s quite similar to the missing white woman phenomenon)

Agree with all of this. Horrific.
ETA, I wasn't directing that only at you Ousie. I've just seen so many jokes people making light of this, I just had to say something.

A debris field, a badly constructed carbon-fiber body and a missing sub. QED. RIP.

I feel like maybe operators of things like this should have to carry insurance coverage to pay us - you and me and the rest of us - for the millions of dollars we’ve spent trying to rescue these idiots.

No delete button for some reason so I'll just type over that as it really didn't come out as intended.

Yikes! According to his big sister, the 19 y/o Pakistani boy didn't want to go, but did so anyway because his father wanted him to and out of respect for Father's Day. Apparently, the father was obsessed with the Titanic.

My kid just ate a hot dog with ketchup on it. In front of me. I apologized to her for raising her incorrectly.

The best nugget I've seen so far is that these idiots weren't even going to see Titanic wreckage directly; it was going to be on a monitor.
