You call this a joke??

• A video of a U.S. Marine singing a song, entitled "Hadji Girl", about the killing of Iraqi civilians, sparks outrage after being widely distributed on the Internet. Amidst huge condemnation, Cpl Joshua Belile issues an apology. A Marine spokesman, Lt. Col. Scott Fazekas, said that they were investigating. (BBC) (NYT)

Even if it was fiction, "joke" is not the most appropriate word. Maybe "an expression of our way of perceiving those little f***ers" (a word used in the lyrics btw) is better, though I still can't find the proper words to describe my outrage.
