6:30 PM UPDATE: OK, POINT WELL TAKEN!
The TMZ newsroom is split -- half of us (like a lot of you commenters!) think the last line in the Elliott Yamin article was way out of line, the other half, well, not so much.
What do YOU think? Was it in bad taste, or just a joke? Polls close at 6:30 PM ET. Majority rules. If 51% say take it down, we will.

1. Yeah talk about being insensitive.
That is horrible.
You guys should totally take that down, and try to respect people a little bit.
I love tmz, but that is ridiculous.

9. That is truly disgusting and heartless. TMZ should be ashamed and should remover the comment and apologize. This is my last visit to this site that's for sure.

14. Rude does not even begin to express the absolute digust I have with that statement. You are asking if you went to far? Well if were your mother...what would you think. Don't insult our intelligence...You already KNOW you went too far.
