The producers are really working hard to make joffrey an evil bastard...but why? Everyone watching the show has disliked him from episode 1 so its not like they really need to emphasize it.
First they have him killing the bastards instead of his mother, and now they move straight from him beating Sansa to beating the whores...if anything they are wasting time making the audience feel extra uncomfortable when they could be giving some extra time to Dany or the Wall.
book references (including #5):

If they had just gotten rid of the whore-beating (not really the kind of T&A people want to see) they could have pushed for a lot more character development during the Sansa scene. Joff could have been more cruel but then there are a couple of points that didn't come forward.
-I believe the hound says "That's Enough" at some point. IIRC, It wouldn't be the first time he has shown a little bit more tenderness/restraint to sansa in the show but it would build his character up for the future (especially if you believe the hyper-speculative fan-thoughts that have him still alive and rescuing her from the Eyrie and they end up marrying).
-Here was also a place where Ser Dontos gets built up as a potential friend to Sansa. I believe he is ordered to hit her but instead of pounding her with a gauntleted fist as asked, he hits her with a spoiled melon and tries to break up the situation
