But he is in Pondicherry, India which was hit by the tsunami's tidal waves.

That would make it rather harder for him to see the humour, one supposes, regarding tsunamis. Perhaps he would prefer jokes about blizzards and ice storms. Or perhaps not; some people see humour as a good coping mechanism ("laughter is the best medicine"), and other people see it as offensive and insensitive. I don't know of any way to reconcile those extremes.

Update: I just realized that I was confused about which he you meant; it is prasadbabu, the original poster, who is Hindustani; dbwiz, who got offended, is from thousands of miles away on the other side of the planet and has no business being offended, unless I'm missing something.

Humour is a good coping mechanism for some people (it works for me), but I don't think this is really the place to be posting it.

That's what he *claims*.

He's a scribe and has been a user since June; I rather doubt he set up the account just to post this obfuscation. I suppose he could have changed his location, but the username fits, so I doubt it. It seems to me that dbwiz is getting his nose bent out of shape over nothing, or because prasadbabu doesn't have the same (Western) sensibilities. It wasn't in *that* bad of taste. Sure, it's inane, but I don't see anything overtly offensive about it, certainly nothing to warrant reaping. It's not like it directly pokes fun at the suferers or their plight or anything.
