Kind of an intro..

I've been lurking and ocassionally posting for a few months here, on the 6 to 9 mo board and sometimes on SAHM. This board is by far the most entertaining though. I'm a SAHM with 2 under 2.
I'm posting to get some opinions on something that totally disturbed me. Someone I know through mutual friends who is also a mom of two had a FB status that was a dead baby "joke." Something along the lines of grinding babies up and eating them with Doritos. I was livid. I called her out right there and basically told her she's psycho to find humor in a joke like that when she has kids. It was a far fetched scenario type of joke but I still thought it was gross. After arguing that she was just telling a joke she said told me I was over reacting. Some people even backed her up and a few childless friends said they also find dead baby jokes funny. Am I uptight? Even before kids I thought jokes like that were disturbing. It probably bothered me way more than it should have but I can't help it ... As much as I'd like to brush things off and mind my own business sometimes I can't and I get fired up easily.
What's the consensus.. Am I being overly sensitive?

You don't understand the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch / think he's fug / don't know who he is? WATCH SHERLOCK. Until you do, your negative opinion of him will not be taken seriously.

Didn't realize it was satirical until checking Wikipedia
I could see a childless teen making a joke like this. Not a mid 20s mom of two. She also babysits my infant niece and when I told my sister about it she laughed at my fired up reaction and said I was over reacting.
They become disturbing and gross to me when it comes from another mom.
I do not get the joke.
I agree w @ItsAllGravy7

Those kinds of jokes are shitty no matter who tells it in my eyes but in my opinion, having it come from a mom makes it worse. That's the main reason I was compelled to say something. I just told her it was a crappy joke to tell especially bc you're a mom.
And if the majority of you said I was uptight then I'd accept my fate

Edit: never mind I skipped a comment on accident.
She says yes because it talks about dead babies.
Gravy and I can argue for days and weeks and months about topics so I just want to shut it down now so I can just stare at my siggy and find my mind palace.

Honestly that's why I love this board! And the ridiculous gif usage.
