You Decide -- Did We Go Too Far?

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.

62. That was so over the line. So much so, I'd consider not visiting your site again. I hope to see an apology.

63. What goes around, comes around. If I were you, I'd find a hole and hide.

65. Good grief! You acknowledge it is offensive and then put it up for an even more offensive VOTE? Sickening.

66. You don't 'joke' about somebody passing away. Would you like it if someone 'joked' about your mom's death? Very bad taste, TMZ and you should be ashamed.

68. Fire the half of the TMZ staff that thinks the line is okay. Geez! TMZ is only making the matter worse, by not rectifying the problem immediately.

70. I used to looooooooove tmz...seriously...but it's getting out of line day by day!!! It's just about making fun of people's look, is she fat? how is her ass looking? is she beautiful without make-up?? RIDICULOUS!!! Like EVERYONE that works at tmz is good looking, thin.... Tmz's owner (never bothered to learn his name) should know more about prejudice,.Because he is gay, he should know better about judgind someone...

71. Geez, even "Vote for the Worst" (that notorious anti-Idol web site) showed more respect & compassion than you idiots.

72. Well, it is way over 51% and still have 2 hours to go...did you get your answer?

73. It must be hard to decide things when you have no morals and hire paparazzis.

74. Very very poor taste. Not even funny. Hae some respect!!! Take it down!

75. terrible taste, and you know it - that's why you asked. if you thought it was in good taste, you wouldn't be questioning.
