The cartoon portrays a truth. Ted boils it down until it's far too thick for you pansies to handle. I don't think the cartoon is funny; the humor could be better. But it does show what is wrong with the strange things that bereaved people say on TV. Thats what he mean when he says "... the scourge of the media."
I don't care who does or does not print it because that is beside the point. The question you all are stabbing at is: is it offensive? Sure it is, to people who think from their hearts. But if you had half a brain you see it is simply dark humor on a hard subject. He is not making light of their losses.
Now I will justify something for jeni. The line: "of course it's a bummer that they slashed my husband's throat, but the worst was having to watch the olympics alone." is a stronger parphrase of: "I am devestated that they murdered my husband. .... What I miss the most is that we both loved figure skating and we never missed watching the winter olympics together" He's simply pointing out what strange things widows can be construed as saying.
