... oh as I type this I see Loramin already posting something similar.
I think Swish's joke may be a cultural thing. It is common in the UK to use humour to pay tribute to beloved celebrities passing, especially to those who were comedians.
I'm not endorsing anything though...

I'll admit doing it was quite dark, but it wasn't intended to offend...just give people a laugh and pay tribute. Comedy and satire are huge in the UK - it's in our dna. I'm sad not everyone sees it that way. We seem to live more and more in a culture where people are just waiting to be offended by something (as well as playing on a server with a petition culture), which is why comedy/satire is even more important.
If it got you upset at the time it happened I apologize. If it got you upset only now after reading this thread then you're offended by something that's already been dealt with and "put right".
