No, it's a matter of context. King's comment was his own way of drawing the horror out of this situation in his own way... and he does not have a "dead baby joke" attitude in every post he puts in the TFP. This was not even a dead baby joke, he didn't create it. The story was there, he made a satirical comment to it.
As for your comment about weighing the two and what would have happened to you if you said it- you would never make such a comment, and you know it, so this is a moot point at best. No such comparison can exist. (If I were a monkey, could I fly?)
Why ask such a question? Oh, that's right, because it would be provocative and stir some shit up.
