Whilst some may find jokes about rape, dead babies, and the mentally handicapped distasteful or offensive, it's doubtful that many people would tell them in the presence of someone whose dead, mentally handicapped, baby was raped—at least not intentionally. But it seems some people have a really, really fucked up sense of humor.

A man is being questioned after hoax e-mails were sent telling relatives of people missing following the Asian tsunami that their loved ones had died.

A hoaxer, claiming to be from the Thai "Foreign Office Bureau", contacted people whose appeals for help had been posted on the Sky News website.

Police said they had arrested a 40-year-old man in Lincolnshire on 31 December and seized computer equipment.

[...]

The hoax e-mailer could face charges of malicious communication or causing a public nuisance.


Somehow, that doesn't sound like it's going to carry a harsh enough penalty.

what a fucking knobjockey

but hang on, he was using an AOL email address.. in all seriousness, I know its sick, which is the real issue here, but its about as believable as the Nigerian "I've got lots of money and want to share it with you if you send me $5000 dollars honest" emails. What governemtn department or agency uses an aol.com address, let alone to inform people of deaths?!?!?!


In an earlier statement, the police stressed the government would not use e-mail to inform people of a death.
The bogus address used is ukgovfoffice@aol.com.

True, on both counts, but if I'm freaking out about a missing loved one, I'm probably not noticing something like an e-mail address.

It reminds me of that scene in The Office where Brent fires Dawn as a 'joke', she starts crying and everyone goes quiet due to the lack of any punchline.

Her cold retort of 'you wanker' seems to fit this situation too.

Telling jokes about it isnt too bad, it lightens the situation, makes it livable.


Telling people their loved one is dead isnt a joke. Its fucked up. Hope he gets like, the maximum punishment they can legally give him.

But y'all wishing him to die?
Ending life isnt usually a good anwser. Too fast and easy. Be creative.

EDIT: wait, this was from an aol address and people believed it. I wonder if all those people have good insurance lots of loans and big penises also.

That's just what I was thinking. This would be the equivalent of receiving an "Official Government Document" in an envelope with a handwritten address and a crookedly placed postage stamp. Only a sucker would take it seriously.

I'm not trying to exculpate the guy. He should still receive punishment of some kind for the emotional distress he caused, and perhaps an additional penalty in light of how ineptly he perpetrated this ruse.

I think in times of tragedy, people are waiting for any word...I don't think they disected the information for proof but once they saw the message probably didn't even look at the email address....
