Maybe they're trying to say "Sex before marriage is bad, look what could happen to you"?

Former Member

Because The Sun is mysognystic scum.

Though I love how confused it's moral code is: paedophilia is wrong, saying the word "tit" is wrong, but it's perfectly acceptable to show the said appendages of a 16-year-old girl in full naked glorious technicolour.

Nice to see that The Sun is as shite as ever.

Former Member

You can say what you like about the sun, but I do like their crossword.
Daily Star has the greatest problem page, however.

Former Member

Arguing with the Mrs about breaking up, then letting her tie you up naked. :nervous:

Obviously one of their more regular readers.

You clearly don't remember when it was revealed a few years ago that some of the "problems" on that page are invented. As for The Sun crossword, .

I wouldn't! Usually when I read problem pages, all I do is laugh.

The fact it's the best-selling "newspaper" in the country... I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Exactly.

Tabloid snobbery.
I do love it.

Yes, a lot of good indeed.

Like driving sex offenders underground, encouraging hate mobs and causing innocent men to be attacked and persecuted by ignorant fucks who can't even tell the difference between a paediatrician and a paedophile.

That was the News of the World, can't you tell the difference, ignorant fuck

Seriously, if anyone reads The Sun for it's newsworthyness then they need help. Sadly I don't think our mental health service could cope.

You're right, it was started by the Screws. However the S*n has since copied its sister "paper" and done some more naming and shaming of its own.

Many other things come to mind... Hillsborough comments, "gay mafia" remarks... A very proud paper, that.

The funniest thing is though, and I'm not being mean to labourers, all I see at lunchtime is lads wearing mucky overalls and fred perry jumpers, burberry hat perched proudly on bonce. And they have either the Sun or the Star in their hands.

When you're in the kitchen of an estate house (this one isn't so common, there are a lot of genuinely good people that live in council houses ), there's always a Sun/Star on the table, along with those shitty magazines that reveal storylines to soaps, and more tosser magazines (with their crackpot photographers that stalk celebrities - fuck the hell off), etc etc. Ridiculous!

Former Member

The Scum excelled itself with the story about the army advertising in gay magazines: they did a spoof of the Kitchener poster, with a limp wrist.

I would suggest compulsory euthanasia for anyone who buys that shitrag. Anyone who works for it, well, death's too good for them.

The Sun wasn't homophobic at all in their reporting about the Gay poster!

No, of course not.

Of course they didn't make a cheap jibe using a tired old clice.

I'm amazed you aren't offended by it, tbh.

I hate The Sun because it's paedophilic, mostly.

Former Member

It hates paedophiles and child abuse so much it shows pictures of naked young girls.

Hypocrisy, what's that?

Not always. There was a girl who was in the year below me at school in The Sun bearing all when she had just turned 17 and they claimed she was older.

Thank you.

The Sun only decries paedos because it's run by one and the editor is married to one.

And still too young to buy porn.

I remember clearly the S*n (and the Daily HateMail for that matter) publishing pictures of Charlotte Church when she was 15 attending some do or other and drooling over her low cut dress and figure.

The S*n latest obsession with under-age girls is the kid from the Harry Potter films. They made some eyebrow-raising comments about her- aged 14.

But then someone mentiones the word 'paedophile' and you can guarantee the worthless rag will start frothing at the mouth and inciting hate mobs.

The hypocrisy is breath-taking.

Former Member

Well let me say, if my girlfreind ever cut of my privates with a knife, i would murder her, thats so disguisting i cant belive its true.

Former Member

No the suns page 3 is not phedophila, but all porn encorages rapists and peodos, porn shoudnt be exposed to you when you dont want to see it, the sun is a pile of crap, but the daily mail is good. Alladin i take it your a lefty, but right wingers would say the guardian is also a piece of worthless crap so there 2 sides to every coin.

How so?

Because its full of intelligent content, so its a right wing newspaper, get over it, i personally think the guardian is a pile of crap.

What sort of intelligent content would that be then?



Oh btw, I have grave reservations about the Guardian as well.........

But it doesn't endorse orphans being banged up in the cold, with guards refusing them a blanket because they happen to have been unfortunate enough to be the victim of the Albanian situation.

Anyways, I guess I should remind you of the question....

What sort of intelligent content would that be then?

which was, of course, referring to the Daily Mail.
