It's an awful awful page but they slot into that grey area between hate crime and offensive jokes and that's why FB doesn't act. "Paki" and Jew joke pages would probably be shut down straight away because it may fit into racism/racial hate crimes. I think FB tries to keep out of it when it comes to this type of offensive joke because they have to consider what will happen next. What happens when fat people are offended and complain about fat people jokes or blonde people complain about blonde jokes? They'd have to shut down every jokes page the moment anyone complained and that would probably have huge effects on their business.
(Disclaimer: I fully agree that the page should be shut down and am not a supporter of this type of offensive joke. I think it's absolutely disgusting. Just wanted to look at it from FB's point of view.)
How can you even compare a 'dead baby' joke to a blonde joke though? Completely different- the blonde is there to defend herself for a start!
