    Since I laughed a little, it was probably tasteless. But, the song didn't kill anybody and making light of a situation doesn't hurt anyone except the emotionally labile, so I gotta go with BFD on this.

    It's rude and crass and uncalled for but there's bigger fish to fry at the moment.

    Ask yourselves, is it possible that someone who has lost their home or a relative might be upset if they heard the song in the next few weeks? I guess yes, so its sensible not to play it.

    Of course last time I looked Canada and New Orleans were a long way apart, but who knows where people have relatives these days.
