are you allowed to do this....yet?

when does making fun of tragedy become acceptable? it's difficult to know - do those who were personally involved or affected decide? them collectively?
or is it society who determines when it's "ok" to do so?

I'm asking because i don't know how to react to this magazine:
Heeb Magazine: The German Issue

To give you an idea, this tasty and colourful treat pictured above is called Final Solution German Chocolate Cake (Death By Chocolate Is For Pussies)...
"Inspired by Black Forest cake, this version of the chocolate and cherry creation ratchets up the intensity with a cocoa-logged filling, espresso and a crown of sugar shards. Execute with thoroughness and precision. Like the Germans would."

don't play with your food

...make art instead.

which is exactly what FunkyLunch food magicians do . Looks good enough to eat....wait...

Insanewiches go one stop further on the crazy train....the 'Rubik's Cubewich' may give you an idea of what they get up to.

And for those of you with more refined palates... Fancy Fast Food is a genius site with the tagline, "Yeah, it's still bad for you - but see how good it can look!" You will be impressed with what you can create from Dunkin' Donuts, McDonalds or Taco Bell...
