I fail to see what is so "unique, topical and edgy" about cruelty, discrimination and deliberate humiliation of another 
person(s). I don't want to find this kind of humour. Nor do I want to know anyone who does! These people need to step back a bit. I'm all for freedom of expression but there is such a thing as decency and taste and doing the RIGHT thing.

Would it help to send your original letters plus the reply to the papers? Just a thought.
