Google Maps Shows Where Osama Bin Laden Died by batteryfast

Google Maps has been updated with a pinpoint for "Osama bin Laden's Compound" in northern Pakistan.
The terrorist, who was reported dead Sunday night, was killed during a carefully coordinated U.S. military and intelligence operation. The plan to kill bin Laden was put into action at Abbottabad, a city about 75 miles north of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.
While it's unlikely the Maps pinpoint is the exact location where bin Laden was found, it does tell us a lot about where he was hiding out. Far from being the cave-ridden rural landscape many had imagined, he was in a beautiful, urban area and was reportedly living in a mansion surrounded by other houses at the time of the raid.
As elated crowds gather around the U.S. to celebrate, many Google Maps and Google Places users are posting "reviews" to the Place page to express their own elation. At the time of this writing , 233 reviews had been posted. The sentiments range from macabre satisfaction to bad puns to simply, "OSAMA IS DEAD! USA! USA!"
The town where bin Laden died is in the Orash Valley and is something of a center of tourism. Images of the area, some of which you can see below, show its educational institutions and beautiful scenery.
While bin Laden was captured with the support of Pakistani authorities, we don't yet know what effects this operation and its result may have on U.S.-Pakistan relations.
As per usual after a big event (or even a day of the week), meme-makers have been on a tear pumping out Photoshopped pictures and graphics depicting Osama bin Laden's death and U.S. President Barack Obama's hand in it.
The reception of such content has undoubtedly set many a mind whirring about whether laughing at death and tragedy is appropriate.The Huffington Post recently ran a piece on humor in the wake of solemn events, for one, and every late-night host seemed to have a joke up his or her sleeve after the news of bin Laden's death.
A case can be made for laughing in the face of darkness as a way to overcome obstacles, for sure, but there do seem to be some cases where the revelry can go too far.
For example, Next Media Animation released a characteristically bizarre video Monday depicting bin Laden's gruesome death, soldiers urinating on his body, and, finally, his spirit being gang-raped by pigs. That video has since been taken down. We've reached out to NMA for comment.
Those who feel we shouldn't laugh at or celebrate a death can go too far, too. Witness the partly mangled, partly fabricated Martin Luther King Jr. quote that spread across the web in a bid to urge others not to succumb to hate.
What do you think? Are these memes a way to release tension after a monumental and cathartic event? Or are some of them beyond the pale? We've included a small sampling below. In the comments, please share others you've seen.
