    .@lenadunham your tweet about the murders committed by Homolka and Bernardo is disgusting. I knew one of the victims and you're way offside.

    @lenadunham was the equivalent for some of us to a Canadian making a joke about dressing as 9/11 terrorist for Halloween. @LadySnarksalot

    I obviously don't find rape or murder funny, rather the concept of a trio of hapless people in poor taste halloween costumes.

    The boundaries of comedy are complicated and I'm learning twitter isn't the place to explain or even test them.
