Do you like to laugh at things that are funny as a joke though in your own code of morality quite disturbing?

I think it is safe to say that at least most people have at least once found comedic value to unfortunate events, 'politically incorrect' topics, violence and sex in entertainment media that would in day to day life make one repugnant.
Is is up to the individual to take responsibility for the differentiation of this humour and its application or the responsibility of governing bodies to make that decision for us.
I myself see this as a somewhat grey area though see government as a minimal influence.
The below options reflect your opinions in areas of interest to this topic. If like me you have overlapping or multiple subject matter of interest choose the option you seem to feel strongest about.

I learned to laugh at myself before anybody else got the chance.
Many laws in place even in the most secular societies have at least an influence if not absolute decree from an applicable religion.
The problem with this as with misc/other legislation in politics, media etc is inherent in human nature, the primeval need to classify and stereotype.
The problem with political correctness is that it is a false screen of structure deluding to the notion that we as people have overcome this base need.
Rather than socially evolving past this we merely fool ourselves into believing that enforcing set ideals can overcome them.
As far as sexuality is concerned I'm bi and I call people fags all the time in context to both sexuality and other practice.
Even bigots including closeted gay anti gays I can laugh with to some extent.
*See my posts long enough on this site only to find out I am a South Park fanatic.
I think context makes and breaks a joke.
I suppose it is better sometimes to laugh than become a whining douche.
I strongly hold the belief that laughter is often the best medicine.
I'm drunk right now but swear a verb or two is missing....
From what I read I could apply that to memes.
Last night I watched South Park S16E03 - The Newest Meme and it got me thinking.
If the mainstream audience is now meme aware have memes lost all meaning?
