The best internet reactions to Osama bin Laden's death
By Libby RumeltMay 2nd, 2011, 11:16 amComments (12)We'll assume you've heard, at this point, that Osama bin Laden was killed, since eighteen of every twenty news stories this morning are about it. In the twelve hours since, the internet has been busy, doing what it does best — responding with GIFs, comics, and jokes.
We have no intention of making light of a serious situation — and our hearts go out to all those who lost loved ones on 9/11. But we also believe that there's a place for humor in any situation. So check out some of our favorites, and if you'd like to see more, visit our friends at Ranker, who put together a full list of fifty.

Thanks Internet! I'm sure that all of the people who lost loved ones on 9/11 will be consoled by these stupid internet memes.
Way to not read the disclaimer...
Nah, more like way to be a hyper-sensitive, humor-lacking, whiny bitch pansy-ass.
cry-baby.
Way to be butthurt bro.
Oh, now I see it. I'm sure everyone is consoled now.
Those who lost loved ones on 9/11 aren't looking for consolation on the internet. Take the self-righteous stick out of your ass. Humor, by the way, is the best medicine.
Catharsis comes in many forms.
Doesn't anyone remember the internet memes that circulated right after 9/11? I can remember plenty. I'm not saying they were all with good taste, but if we could chuckle back then, we should be able to fucking howl right now.
Well I guess we can't do anything that might offend anyone because Beans said so.
I just wanna know how anyone has the time or inclination... heck, Beans, go outside awhile, you've been smellin' your own patoots too long.
