Not funny at all imo, aog.

[gordiescotland1]

It was not funny at all and he should be sacked it was insensitive and immature

[jackthehat]

Not funny....insensitive.....but calling for his sacking is a little over the top.

[marval]

Most definitely not funny, making jokes about what happened is quite sick.

[Bathsheba]

Tasteless jokes soon after tragedies are nothing new,....but now social media is spreading them to a much wider audience.

[Jomlett]

The P in his name stands for Pillock.

[andres]

Sick, senseless, stupid but not a sackable offence!

[Daffy6543]

Not at all funny. He's an insensitive prat.

[Bathsheba]

have to admit I've seen an extremely tasteless pic related to the incident, + laughed.....yes, I'm a bad person, I know.....;)

People in the public eye say stupid and insensitive things without thinking sometimes and unfortunately for them it goes viral. I wouldn't call it a sackable offence though. Some people where I work do similar things which I and others find shocking but they wouldn't get sacked for it.

[Sqad]

I agree with my friend JTH.....not a big deal....tasteless, but not sackable.

[ToraToraTora]

another brainless idiot that thinks he is something special because he has a part in a public cess pit show.

[sandyRoe]

Doesn't he play something of a monster in the street? Maybe the role is permeating his real life. Platt the prat.

[jourdain2]

Not funny at all. Immature, insensitive and doubtless overpaid idiot.

[whirlyhurly]

Horrible joke and a horrible little cretin.

[dunnitall]

Disgusting in my opinion, after all unlike people animals don't have a choice in their well being or not. These dogs couldn't escape or try to so I can see nothing at all remotely funny in anyone 'joking' about what happened to these poor animals. I could however tell you what I would do to the scum who allegedly caused the fire

[LyndaB]

Not funny, but certainly not a sacking offence.

[Obiter]

The first sick joke, which I shall not repeat, though now it sounds rather tame, was after the assassination of JFK. As has been said, such jokes arise immediately after a tragedy; normally they are repeated in relative privacy but the internet has changed all that.

[craft1948]

I don't find it 'disgusting' I just don't think it's funny. I remember years ago when the Herald of Free Enterprise sank with the loss of nearly 200 lives. There were ferry jokes doing the rounds within hours.....now that is disgusting.
