Totaly, these jokes weren't funny when they FIRST started appearing let a lone now the copy cats are still in full swing. I didn't know anyone in 9/11 but I did lose a friend in 7/7 London so feel slightly stronger about people making a joke of these situations.
You'd think the people who lost loved ones in 9/11 would be able to appreciate this just as much as the rest of us. It's not about having a sense of humor, and I'm not trying to make light of what happened on September 11th. I'm mocking the countless, scientifically baseless conspiracy theories surrounding the attacks. If anything, I'd hope that people could see the joke in this. If I had lost anyone during those times, and then some jackass came up to me spouting baseless bullshit about how the government killed thousands of people as a feeble excuse to go to war, I'd break my hand on his face. And then I'd laugh at his busted in nose and shattered jaw.
This is like that, but without me needing surgery on my hand.
