Crimomedy
I've made another word. this one is perfect. it's a classification for all those crime-centered comedies. like trainspotting, lock stock and two smoking barrels, anything by quentin tarantino, you know.. if they're about crimes, and they're not just chalk full of real drama, then you can call them crimomedies. that's what i do. it's slightly more meaningful than the word uproarious, which can be found on independant movie boxes, which signify that you might laugh twice, at irony only, not a joke, and that it will be disturbing overall.. so yeah. possibly more useful than forsurance. and not yet the name of any companies. of course the second i post it here, it will be.

That's a rather cumbersome word for such a direct meaning. Perhaps just the shorter "crimedy" would fit the bill better? Or would it be confused with "criminy" too often?
Criminally yours,
Screwtape
p.s. Did you make a conscious choice to only capitalize one letter in that post?
gererally i avoid capitalization. in fact i think it would have been an accident that i actually capitalized anything at all. i think i wouldn't do well with german, because i've heard they capitalize all the nouns. then again, i'm sure there are people there who refuse.. i don't feel obliged to follow several of the customs of our written language.
oh yeah. and i did think about crimedy first, but i think crimomedy has a funnier sound to it, like it sound intentionally odd for comic effect..
