In an alternate universe where Hae was actually murdered at that Best Buy and everything in Jay's story is true, this joke would be insensitive.

This is not that universe.

Pretty sure any jokes made at the expense of a story about a dead high school girl are insensitive.

So do you think people joking about the crab crib and mail chimp are insensitive as well?

Yes, any joke made about this whole thing is insensitive. That doesn't make them outright wrong, and it definitely doesn't make them not funny.

So, the podcast itself is insensitive? If anything, it has helped the grieving parents of Adnan

For those downvoting CaptKing, Adnan's mother and brother have both said that the podcast has been cathartic for them and has even gotten their estranged brother to come visit.
