You're Better Than That! (I Guess, Who the Hell Knows)

I saw that some writer from Family Guy has taken a lot of shit for an insensitive Tweet about the Japan tragedy.  Oooooh, I thought, this is gonna be good!  Then I saw the actual Tweet:

If you wanna feel better about this earthquake in Japan, google “Pearl Harbor death toll”.

What? The Pearl Harbor death toll was 2,350.  Who knows it will end up being in Japan?  Meanwhile, we blasted away about 180,000 civilians with a coupla lazy-ass bombs a few years later.  I'm not sure we're on the right side of karma to be so self-satisfied just yet.  At least the Japanese had the courtesy to attack a military base.

I mean, I'm all for being an insensitive dick, but camon.  Take about 3 seconds to do some simple math.  Or, even better, use the Google you're apparently familiar with, and don't look like an idiot.
