Comedian Dimitris Piatas has responded to criticism following the recent deaths of actors Kostas Mostakas and Christos Psaltis. Piatas was questioned about a joke he previously made, with some suggesting it was in poor taste given the actors’ passing. He asserted that Mostakas and Psaltis would have found the joke genuinely funny, stating they would have “laughed with their souls.” The controversy centers on whether the joke is now inappropriate in light of the actors’ deaths. Piatas’s statement implies he believes the joke remains acceptable and questions if humor itself should be “abolished” due to potential offense. The incident has sparked debate regarding the boundaries of comedy and sensitivity surrounding loss within the Greek entertainment industry. No further details regarding the specific joke have been released.
