Actually, I think he was including Katrina in the overall scope of disasters that has struck, thereby encompassing all tragedies. Otherwise, the whole "God" part is rather pointless. So, yes, I think it would have gone off just as well. I, personally, got a good chuckle out of it. AFTER I got a good dose of reality and sympathy for those who are affected. There is no shame in trying to lighten a poor situation. Without laughter, there is no happiness. Without happiness, there is no hope. Mayhap looking at it in that light will give you a bit broader perspective.
For the record, I agree with both Any1 and Occhi. Any1, you are doing good by trying to look out for the feelings of others. But as Occhi pointed out, everything can be taken too seriously.
