Your thoughts?

Right here - I assume you would be "laughing my BUTT off" because you thought it was funny. No?

Yeah, but that was conditional funny, not actual funny.

The guy's head was smashed into tiny bits, presumably. Now, how is that funny under any condition? Who doesn't like to see the perpetrator of poor actions step in dog poo or something, but to say you would laugh your head off (was pun intended?) because someone who did something stupid got their head smashed to bits and probably died at a very young age is, to me, more "meanness and cruelty" than a stupid kid prank gone awry.
