Many people today roll their eyes at what they perceive to be sensitivity... laughing, well snorting really (it isn't genuine laughter) at anything at all, no matter how dark the matter be. They complain that everyone is "too easily offended" and whoever takes the slightest shock or scoff or disgruntled stance is labeled "humorless."
"People need to lighten up," because they can't laugh at a joke about a dead baby. Or worse yet "People need to get a life," when they show the slightest provocation toward actually caring about something. Please everyone, get offended! You have a right to feel offended if someone belittles what is sacred to you. Odds are the person doing the belittling has nothing sacred to them. They are somehow embarrassed to have a soul.
Sense of humor implies sense. If you decide to laugh at anything because you're afraid people will think you aren't cool, you are as far removed from thinking as can be. You look stupid, not cynically savvy. If you can reason your own opinions, you wouldn't laugh at everything. Please, scoff, sneer, disdain, dislike, stand up, believe and GET OFFENDED.
