I think comedy is OK as long as it is actually funny. Trying to be funny with shock value is not OK to me...when it isn't funny.
But a 9/11 joke could actually be funny. If anyone had a relative that died in the event..sure they'd be pissed to hear it and kick somebody's ass, anyone living in the NY/NJ area would be offended probably.....are Challenger shuttle jokes funny? Probably to many other than the families of the victims.... is it tasteless or trying to bring humor to a sad event? i dunno...it is a line, if it crosses the line it just better be funny. Tasteless? I cringe when I hear it, but it's funny...then again I don't have any people with down's syndrome in my family..if I did I'd probably wanna strangle MacFarlane...

I think it really falls on those involved. Of course it is going to upset someone who had a friend or family member die in the incident, and it isn't funny when someone dies, regardless, but if you are someone who didn't lose someone in the incident, chances are, you will laugh at a joke, no matter how tasteless you think it is, and unless you are an uptight prude.
If my dad died in a fire, I would be pissed that someone made fun of it, but he didn't, so it doesn't cut me personally, so I laugh (just making an example) An example came up today in which there was a debate about a tattoo someone got....some guy actually got a tattoo of the twin towers with stick people jumping out and the caption 'it's raining men'. Tasteless? Offensive? Of course it is. Funny? I kind thought it was funny, even though it was pretty offensive and disrespectful to the people who died. I don't personally approve of it but it was still a bit funny.
