Irrational? It's a KNOWN FACT that he has two or three times (can't
remember exactly, but it was way over) the legal limit in France for
alcohol. And that he had drugs that influence driving skills as well. Has
nothing to do with whether the photographers were chasing Di or not. Maybe
they were, and they were wrong if they were in pursuit. I don't dispute that. 

He was impaired. Maybe not when he is walking or talking. Lots of people
can cover it up. But at 100 mph going through a tunnel, maybe impaired
enough. Not one photographer has been charged. So, where does that leave
us? Rational? I think so.

And how about the question of taste getting a yuck out of making such a
joke in the first place?
