A mate of mine works at the Grand Chancellor in Christchurch. He reckons they're gonna be flat out.
Was supposed to go to C'church for a holiday but my accomodation's fallen through.

I guess someone had to kick off the "too soon" schoolboy chortling.
Those of us who sit in anguish awaiting news of missing people, can no doubt gain some comfort from the knowledge that their on-going suffering is the source of puerile amusement for others.

Interesting responses, and the bling!!!! - so - it looks like the great english "dark humour in the face of adversity" has gone from most of the population - and they were only mild jokes - I have much worse - 2 from a person who did lose someone in Chch.......
What a dour lot most of the population are becoming....

It's worse not knowing if you have lost a friend or loved one... do you grieve, do hold on to hope that they are okay waiting for rescue... or loose hope and the slow grieve kicks in which is like a slow death in a way...
Trrust me its not nice not knowing... whilst condolences to your friends for their loss, but at least they now know and can can now start their grieving process...
There are many here waiting to hear from friends and family... including me...

:smile: Ordinarily I laugh at this sort of thing. I am far removed from the devastation, and so far so good all my nearests and dearests are ok, just maybe a little too close to the bone John. Dont take it personally.

"Dark humour in the face of adversity" is for those who are facing it.
Perhaps you could travel to Christchurch and cheer up those who stand in vigil at the cordons with your jokes. No? Of course not, you probably prefer your nose unbroken...
But the safety and anonymity of the internet makes it different, eh?
Dour? Maybe. But I'd rather be dour than a cunt.
As it happens, I've now heard from the last of our missing relatives, and can start relaxing. But many others can't...

Yep the jokes are good usually we take the piss of world events and turn into jokes asap,but a bit differet when in our land,and that maybe ruffles the feathers.
I had a cousn who was talking to her mum at a cafe before the quake,whilst still on the phone my auntie said she heard background screams and the phone went dead as the rumble started,auntie and uncle had a long 28hours before her daughter could contact them,with cuts and bruises and a newly renovated home damaged.

Relax people. Its a bit early for earthquake jokes but if some want to go ahead, well that just illustrates we all have different thresholds. My wife is at the centre of things organising relief and rescue so myself and the children are a bit anxious.
However I'm not offended and in a couple of weeks will probably laugh.

Its always a bit early for some people.
As it is Im not offended and currently Im living under a curfew inside cordon.
Im closer to this shit than anyone. I know people that have lost family and friends, everyone's just trying to stay positive at the moment. Some people do it with black humor, some people are probably drinking way to much. Everyone is dealing with it their own way though.

Quite a bit of difference but can't expect everyone to understand that, but as this is a post under jokes and humour, the title very much says it all and the jokes were not aimed at anyone personally, just general good humour unlike the very directly pointed comments about my wife's miss fortune, but then again if that appeals to you good on you for finding a laugh about it. Next time I'll remember to post such things in jokes and humour so that you don;t need to make it a personal attack.

The biggest problem the country faces is going to be brand recognition.
After all the rebuliding it will be necessary to change the country's name to Newer Zealand.
After 200 years of marketing, Americans don't have a clue where we are. The new(er) name will screw them royally

sorry but wanton vandalism to and individuals property is not funny, and I did not post about that in jokes and humour, likewise many aspects of CHCH's disaster are not funny but the generic jokes that were headed by a title of EQ jokes and posted in jokes and humour were funny and were not directed at anyone personally.
However we are all entitled to find individual things as humorous, and yes my family has been effected personally by this but I find humour very therapeutic, however I would not post a personal humorous comment anywhere, generic is fine.

I lived this, I'm only just outside the cordon, I've made a few jokes about my own situation, then quickly realised that fellow cantabrians died in this, and that by sheer chance I wasn't one of them. Kind of takes the humour out of the situation, doesn't it.

Im all for jokes, I think humour is a way of healing, kiwis have always been able to alugh at themselves, and Ive heard and made a joke or two myself about the quake, BUT,
There isnt really a need to be throwing jokes about it so recklessly over the internet so soon. in a few months sure, but fuck its been less than a week.
A massive contingent of my family are from chch, many I still cant find or contact. Untill such time as things have calmed down, I think jokes about this should be kept to your living room, and off the internet.
At least wait untill the last tearfull family have uncovered their son/daughter/father/mothers/cousins body from the fucking rubble?

how about people post up threads about your family with alot of personal details like where you work, what school ya kids go to, Im sure then youd see the need for mods to be looking though forums.
Clearly youre a big keyboard warrior with a one inch cock, tell you what sweety, Ill pay for a ticket for you to fly to christchurch, and drive you to the cordons myself and watch you tell jokes to people waiting to find out if their family is dead or not. Wanna take me up on the offer?
Unless you got the balls to stand at the cordons and say it, you have no place saying it on the forums. I bet others would even chip in for the ticket, shouldnt be too much, you wont be needing a return.

Your over-reaction reveals much about you. Insecure, hidden guilt, uneasy conscience, probably a loner, good at anglo-saxon expletives but generally unable to express yourself fluently, highly defensive, likely to be loud after a few beers, front being a real man but in reality unsure of yourself.

Too early.
Nothing else to say - on my third wine of the evening as I have been each evening since Tuesday. Now that makes things a bit better. It did occur to us last night when we had neighbours over (who have similar damage to their home) and we were all sinking a few that we should possibly take turns drinking in case we need to flee in the middle of the night!
Take turns at drinking..!!?? wash ya mouth out...:bleh:

"You know you're from Christchurch when..."
You use the term "liquefaction" and "seismic design" in casual conversation.
Digging a hole and pooping in your garden is no longer weird.
Your mayor describes the city as munted. If he means FUBARed, you agree
Weaving through car size potholes on the street is no longer weird
Going to Wellington to escape earthquakes makes sense
A shower is heaven
You have a preference of which kind of silt you'd rather shovel, dry or wet
You see tanks driving around town
You are always noting what you are under
Due to frequent aftershocks during the night, you sleep like a baby--every 10 minutes you wake up and sh*t yourself

Just saw this on another forum, apparently some people think it's ok to have a laugh, even if it is at their own misfortune.

Actually dickhead i red reped you for crying about a thread but still carry on reading and posting in it. if you don't like it stop reading it.
as for red back nowhere have i said i 1) agree with this thread 2) agree with joking about the quake and to take it to think i condone looting is taking it a bit far even for you.
And thanks for the red back on a completely different thread just to get your own back for someone giving you red in the first place, Not cool, disrespectful and immature. :finger:

Phil K sounds like a balanced individual...........loves firing shit at people not so good at taking it........just before the 2 mins silence less than one week since it happened, too soon and bad taste. Go and tell the jokes to families still waiting, rescuers still removing bodies, ambo's etc, I'm sure thay'll appreciate it

Actually fuck face I read the first post and I was appalled that this is even considered entertainment, and like anyone is entitled to, I made a comment, if you dont like it then thats your issue I can only assume you agree with this threads content by red repping me.
Best you go on contributing to the "looting" of decent society with the others on this thread who see the degradation of civil society as a priority.
I challenge anyone here to shout out these jokes in the streets of ChCh, tho you wont, cause youre likely spineless keyboard twats

Spineless keyboard twats, you would know all about them as you would be if not one the most childish at least one of the biggest here.
If you don't like a thread don't read it and definitely don't come back and read some more but i guess the keyboard wanker in you was just too hard to overcome. Just wait to see how the mood of the thread is going and jump in.
And if someone reds you grow a pair and move on but no you still have the mental age of a five year old by trying to find some other post and red rep them back.
Fuck you make some drivel up. First its a joke, now it's the "looting of society".
Go and email the guy selling his rock and tell him what you think, bet i know what he'll tell you to do.

Actually I was there, I still am here, and Im living in town inside the cordon with no water.
I cant leave my house without wondering if I'll be able to get back to it, I have to carry photo ID (do anyway) AND a letter that has my name and address on it just to get back to my house, theres no guarentee that I'll be able to get my bike into my garage at night because some of the people on the cordon dont let vehicles through. Also this cordon could be up for months with this stupid bloody curfew (I have to be home before 6pm otherwise I cant get home).
We all know someone that has died or knows someone that knows someone. Nobody in Christchurch has been left untouched by this tragedy.
If the way I want to deal with this situation is by making light of it, poking fun at it, and heaven forbid actually try to still have a bit of fun then Im sure as hell going to do it.

THIS WOULD BE THE MOST RELEVENT POST IN ANY KB THREAD i HAVE EVER READ
I'm not going to enter this debate any more because the thread was about a little bit of light hearted humour, but NO ONE who has voice and opinion on here has greater right or authority than YOU - to you I offer my sincere commiserations but something I do know your attitude is what gets people through Kia Kaha - Be Strong

1/ that doesn't make sense
2/ I will do what I like on this public forum, and if anyone posts something I dont like I will say so, as does anyone else (as even you are doing yourself right now)
And if someone reds you grow a pair and move on
Weren't you crying like a bitch because I red repped you, so like you say "grow a pair"
Fuck you make some drivel up. First its a joke, now it's the "looting of society".

It was never a Joke and it never will be, unless your afflicted with the "I dont give a shit and I will laugh at the situation attitude"
The Chap with a rock in his house, is living the situation, your not, you're gaggling from the outside with some of the other idiots on here like 16 year old school girls.
Frankly it Beggars belief that this thread was even posted, let alone morons try and defend it as merely humor, clearly we have a difference of opinion, so I will leave you to yours and you can leave me to mine.

I'd be more worried if there were no jokes about. It totalled a lot of our city, but I'd be more worried if it broke New Zealand as well, cause currently we're in big trouble without you.
Shortly after my grandfather died I took his brother (2 ANZCACs),my great uncle to see the film Gallipoli. As he lost a leg there I dropped him off at the door & went to park the car anyway after the film I took him to my Grandmothers for a cuppa & a chat, it was very interesting sitting in on that one... the bottom line is the black humour in the film was pretty authentic but slightly understated... behold the therapeutic value of black humour...obviously it has a time & a place..many a joke at a funeral has been worth telling if only to put it all in perspective...life is for living & live it we must...you'll see me laugh before you see me cry...try to make me cry & see what happens if you don't succeed I'll laugh at you:bleh:

You know why the japanese tsunami went so far inland?
Water always picks up speed when it's running down slopes...
Recently opened a cafe in japan. Started a bit shaky, but slowly
people drifted in.
Jap farmers pleading poverty! Bullshit! I seen one farm on tv with
2 huge boats and about 20 cars on his front yard!
does anyone else find it interesting that there has been no backlash from the PC brigade against the japanese jokes compared to the christchurch ones?

So I was talking to this bar tender in Sendai. He was so happy to meet me, even shouted me a drink on the house. I felt like royalty.
I asked why he was so happy to see me, and he responded.
"Its so good to talk to someone slightly intelligent, these days I only get drifters in here"
