Likeminded people should be able to share like-minded jokes. I refer you back to Ignition's excellent and succinct comment: "Freedom of speech should always trump peoples' sense of offense."
So, you are saying it's OK to say what you want about anyone as long as someone thinks it's funny, and that it's wrong that the person being offended does anything about it?

All Katie Price has done is complain to OFCOM, after asking Channel 4 for an apology. She is not banning anyone from saying anything.
