I see.
That is seriously messed up.
I know that if this were some black humour thing, it could be funny, but since it involves real people, I'm on the side of those who'd say it's in bad taste.
It depends on how serious all the quotes are, as well as your distance from the culture that it comes from. Personally, I can see the "I fell in love with Nevada-tan" and "Cute girls can do whatever they want" quotes as being sarcastic jokes, and coming from the nation that celebrated the double murder of a woman and her lover with roughly two years of The Dancing Itos on Leno and cheesy horror movie murderers being revealed as "Just OJ!" on SNL, I can't really complain. When you're far away from the media frenzy and the slow escalation of well-publicized off-color jokes, it can all seem quite morbid, but for the 2ch posters and Japanese "fan" artists, it might not seem any stranger than OJ jokes did in the United States several years ago.

That is a good point.
