Whether they knew this would happen is neither here nor there. There have to be boundaries and it should not take an Einsten to realise the damage, in this instance too awful with young children losing their mother and a husband his wife, that spiteful acts can cause and while it may have seemed funny at the time perhaps upon reflection was the humour ill conceived. No one is perfect and we have all made idiots of ourselves at some point but if this crass attempt is what passes for humour in Oz then society needs to to take stock of itself. I fear for Kate and William following the recent scandal concerning the paperati pics, the stress this puts on an expectant first time mother cannot be imagined by those of us who do not live in a goldfish bowl and constant media spotlight.
