Is 'Maakies' Intended To Disgust People?

RECEIVED Thu., April 14, 2011

Dear Editor,
    I never enjoy Maakies when I read it, so I generally ignore it. However, in the April 15 issue, it featured a large picture of a dog's deep-fried face. Once it caught my eye, I felt sick to my stomach and couldn't even continue reading the page.
    Why do you continue to publish Maakies? Is it intended to disgust people?
