You Decide -- Did We Go Too Far?

31. TAKE IT DOWN DUMBASSES.

Its stupid you are even taking a poll on that.

Just take it down.

You already know what the response of the public is to that heartless statement.

Take it down and issue an apology.

Boycott tmz.

32. I personally think it is in bad taste to joke about the death of a loved one, especially a parent!! Even if the guy is a shmuck!

33. I read this website every day, and I have to say it was pretty shocking. For me why it was so shocking was because last year on American Idol they discussed her cancer at length. Whenever Elliot performed they would cut to her, obviously cancer stricken, clapping and cheering on her son. We all cared for her. Maybe the person who posted didn't go on the same journey. Even for a tabloid exploit-fest like TMZ is, this was out of line, rude, and tacky.

34. This shouldnt even be up for debate, isn't their someone monitoring this stuff for you guys or can you just post whatever you want and make fools out of yourself. You guys are always the classier of the two sites and this just brought you below the competition by a mile.

35. Removing the line is not enough. An apology is what's called for. YOUR mothers must be really proud of you....if you think this is so funny, I hope you'll write the same thing when your own relatives die.

36. Harry you went way to far on this one you should be ashamed and offer to pay for funeral expenses to show you do have a heart and do not state that this is news.

39. who cares what you say about the idol contestants, making a joke in an obituary is in very poor taste.

40. Typical of TMZ. Someone there gets their kicks by spewing insensitive insults about people, their weight, etc.

41. Nice going, jackasses. You just made Perez Hilton look classy. May each one of you be infected with chronic, incurable jock itch and yeast infections.

42. this post just adds insult to injury. How tasteless can you be? More proof that TMZ is worthless.

43. Absolutely Pathetic!

Not only were your comments lacking in humor, but they were terribly insensitive and in very bad taste.

Which is not to say that a blog of this nature seeks to earn any kind of credibility anyway, but you guys seriously crossed the line.

44. This isn't about censoring TMZ. It's about TMZ not knowing where the line of decency is. This literally is my last click into this site. If we all stop clicking into the site their ad revenue goes down and in time the beast is brought down by starving it of $$$. MSNBC can have my ad revenue. They do trash too!

Bye!

45. That was wrong... very wrong and insensitive.... If you wanted to joke about McPhee thats fine but not at the expense of a person's mother who just passed away.... I love Elliot...He is a wonderful soul
