It's hammer and not humour!

An open letter to Mir regarding Mirakkel:
Dear Mir,
Though I admire your sense of humour and your consummate skill to anchor a program, I can’t stomach many of the humours dished out in your much hyped program Mirakkel .They’re more hammers than humours as their punch lines more often than not grievously punch the listeners-cum- viewers’ mind. If I’m not wrong your Mirakkel is primarily a family show.But many of the humours are so overtly bed-pan type that they cannot be viewed or listened to with children. Of course, you might well contest my sense of obscenity and it might trigger a never ending debate about what’s obscene and what’s not. You might call me puritan too. Anyway, I’m not going to delve into such a debate and simply speak my mind and for that matter my opinion as a viewer. In fact, what’s shocked me is many of your participants have penchant for presenting sex-oriented jokes, that too bordering on vulgarity. What’s more shocking you along with your judges greet the contestants with thunderous applause when such jokes are presented. However, nothing is unmixed good or bad in the world. Many of your contestants on the other hand really present brilliant and sometimes thought provoking jokes that can cheer up even the most depressed and melancholic personalities. Admittedly, it’s really difficult to prepare intelligent jokes but it doesn’t necessarily means the contestants would indulge in openly sex-related jokes and you would encourage them by deafening claps. Isn’t it unfortunate?
