There is nothing funny in The DAO "attack"

I'm not sure why people keep posting new threads to make fun with The DAO, Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin. We saw videos, memes and everything, but the truth is that personally this failure makes me angry. 11 days ago, I have launched a topic where I have shared my concerns on what may happen, but what really happened is even worse. The Ethereum Foundation gathered over $270 million (ETH + DAO crowdsales = the price of both before the "attack"), but allowed this to happen. I'm not really blaming anyone for this, but come on, $270 MILLION for "something" with such omission in the code?! What about people who invested and those who bought at the peak? I'm sure that there are few more millions of $ lost in tradings.

What can ETH Foundation say to these people? "We're sorry", "Stay strong"?! I believe that Vitalik and company should reach to an agreement with the "attacker", take some of the "stolen" funds back, and pay the rest out of their pockets! You have to take some responsibility, though nobody is insured from mistakes, but ETH Foundation are the ones who gave 270 million promises to people.
