Straight line descendent from the great Sheik Ayu Butt.

Yeah, a guy with a funny name is dead. Wotta knee slapper.

Cmon, jon. It's perfectly possible to find the name funny and find the event tragic.

Under different circumstances, I'd be prepared to laugh my ass off at this poor fellow's name. But I'm so sick and tired of all this shit-the terrorism, the backlash, the governments response, and the fact that our first response is to crack a joke shows that we've all become way too used to it.

It's too much pre-coffee.

*force feeds jonmc coffee*

I'm still not convinced that was actually his name and that someone in the BBC isn't having a laugh at my expense.

And if you can't laugh at someone named "Kamal Butt", whether alive or dead at the hands of complete idiots or not, the terrorists have already won, or some shit. Me, I'm going to laugh. Life's too short.

Though, it could also be argued that life's also too short for lowbrow humor.

One of Swedens most notorious crappy-hit-song producers and later convicted rapist, is named Billy Butt. He should be so glad he wasn't in England, where the press would have a million miles more fun with him and his unusual name than the Swedish press did.
five years in prison for nine rapes. He still insists on his innocence and wants to clear his name.

What's so funny?

5 years for 9 rapes? Some justice system you got there.

I know a guy whose last name is "Assman." He pronounces it Ahz-mun.
