Titanic Fun Ride... Too soon?

Whilst walking through a Celtic festival located kitty-corner to the Orange County Swap Meet and petting zoo I discovered the above singularity. Kids were bounding up the right side only to moments later slide down the left. Parents pay $2 so that their children can giggle and shriek as they fall down the deck of the ship and into the murky depths below.That's right, the sinking of the Titanic has been commoditized into an inflatable bounce-house-style children's slide.

It's long been known that Comedy = Tragedy + Time. In this particular instance, I can't help asking "Too soon?"
