1) Yes it is.

2) No, they don't.

If you don't appreciate black humor, that's fine. What I don't understand is why people who don't always feel the need to wag their fingers at those who do. Just because something isn't funny to you doesn't mean it is objectively unfunny.

Miss Cleo was a fraudulent huckster who helped people prey on the gullible. Not a particularly respectful profession, if one were to ask me.

Ethicists have long established that "I was just following orders" is not sufficient reason to absolve one of their complicity in an unethical act.

Also, when I heard of this, I magically predicted that a ton of people would make the same "didn't see that coming" joke.

I'm amazing!
