I'm not sure where the audience is or how they plan on keeping them. If you don't find it tasteless and instead find it amusing, it's still a one-joke kind of site. So it probably sees a traffic spike associated with publicity and then drops of a cliff. Not much of a business model, imo. Or was your question about the morality of offensive sites?

It's surprising that it's taken until now for a formal way to flame people to pop up. You're probably right that most of their visitors will be of the one-time variety. If it keeps going, my guess is the audience will be fairly small except for the occassional post that's particularly incisive or interesting.
Before people get too deep into talk about whether it's offensive, the title is a reference to a bit by Eddie Izzard, the excellent British comedian. It's pretty innocuous.
