I don't think anyone has actually tried to shut them down, as anyone who
could is familiar with parody. They are not immune to libel suits and
there is reason to believe the queen bee lives in the UK. However, that
said, it's a waste of time. They may, however, be more responsive to
complaints than is generally believed.
