No, actually it's not at all funny to make jokes about people with disabilities, specifically and especially targeting their disabilities. There's one rule in comedy, you always punch up. Not down.
Life pro tip: add this to your self-righteous muppet comment's endings " it is not funny ....TO ME".
You'll note it didn't make fun OF a blind person.
Am I correct that you think the joke is making fun of The Reader, rather than the person who has experienced a tragedy as direct result of their disability? This is absurd, as I'm reading this online, so of course I did not see anything other than words on a screen. Perhaps I am misunderstanding you. Would you care to elaborate?
As a person with my own issues I appreciate the sentiment. And your right to never attack any one specific person. But comedy sometimes pokes fun at expense. But yeah in general be cool to each other
