In the Bad Taste category we have Rocky Mtn News

This [1] was on TechCrunch, I thought it warranted a local POV
First I do gotta give Rocky Mtn News props for being down with and using twitter, rock on. However that good juju is completely wiped out for twittering a 3 year old’s funeral.
Berry Morson [2] should probably apologize. I’m certainly no arbiter of good taste and political correctness, but really, twittering from a funeral. The funeral of a three year old who died in a car accident? Dude come on!
Twitter [3], brightkite [4], pownce [5], etc are great, and allow everyone, including news agencies, and such to communicate with their communities, but really, the “good taste” line doesn’t go away, or move back any.
I call shame on Berry and the Rocky Mtn News.
