They say tragedy plus time equals comedy. But how much time are "they" talking about?
Today TV Squad published the following excerpt from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It's hilarious, but is it too soon to laugh about Michael Jackson's death? Watch this video and comment.

Funny certainly, but too soon? Just right?
Stewart isn't really making fun of Michael Jackson, but rather making fun of the ridiculous coverage that's been inundating the airways.
Some of the jokes out there are certainly in bad taste, most of them have to do with the accusations of child molestation that were leveled at Michael and continued to haunt him throughout the rest of his life. Other jokes are about the circus surrounding his upcoming funeral.
What do you think? Jokes about Jackson--okay, not okay? The conversation continues with you.
