As the Man from Mars says, "they laugh because it hurts...because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting."
Essentially what he was saying was that just about everything we laugh at is bad. Jokes are made about death, tragedy, abuse, being dumb, the list goes on. Hell Hitler finds his way into many jokes on Family Guy. But we laugh at all these things because it helps us cope with them, because we really have no other way. Dwelling on the tragedy does not make it go away. This is a dark sad truth.
Also, since there isn't much of a description out for the movie, nor has anyone seen it yet, how can we really judge how awful it is that they are making a satire about it.
