Highway Deaths Amuse Justin Timberlake

The San Francisco Chronicle is running a story on a terrible highway accident in Indiana that killed seven people in a minivan Thursday night. A tractor trailer slammed into the van, possibly after it hit a deer and slowed down or stopped, and only three of the 10 passengers in the van survived the crash.

The story is illustrated by a photo of Justin Timberlake and host Matt Lauer laughing it up on the Today Show:

As you might expect, commenters aren't happy that Timberlake and Lauer find the crash funny.

That's very *NSensitive.

This is what happens when Lauer takes time from his important work for the Obama campaign.
