The Sun. I didn't realise it was THAT bad.

[goldstone]

I had the unfortunate experience of having to read (sorry, that should be "look at") the Sun this morning. It was the only English language newspaper available at breakfast at the hotel.

First time I've seen it for many a moon. Obviously designed for people with the attention span of gnats and the intelligence of house flies. And it's so badly designed that it gives you a headache trying to locate anything vaguely worth reading.

It does not say much for the average IQ of the great British public that people actually spend their hard earned cash to BUY this rubbish on a daily basis.

I'll have to send one of my people out to find a copy of the Times.

...actually spend their hard earned cash to BUY this rubbish on a daily basis.

Better to spend it on a Great British institution rather than a charitable cause to supply access to clean water, for example.

 

[SNOOBS]

It's actually quite depressing reading it

Not that I do very often at all just to clarify

I must say I'm not entirely convinced by that statement.

somebody bviously didnt read dear diedre then - it justifys 25p in itself

 

[beorhthelm]

Dont try the News Of the World then, thats even worse and doesnt even have a decent sports pages.

It was the only English language newspaper available in most of Switzerland when I was there a few years back, when I eventually found a day-old Irish Times and a Daily Mail in Berne Central Station I was delighted. It takes a new depth of shit to make the Daily Mail better than it!

I think if you turn to page three there is usually something worth looking at, and to top it all, the young ladies featured there share their opinion on one of the weighty issues of the day. Take for example todays Sun:

Becky, 24, from London:
News in Briefs:
Becky was amazed to hear the tale of survival by three British divers in the Indian Ocean. She said "It sounds like something out of a film, but this is a real story of courage and survival against the odds"

Why she has to be starkers to give her opinion is another matter, however I for one support her.

I was reading the Mail yesterday (round my parents I hasten to add), and that was carrying an article about a Polish tabloid thats caused a bit of a stink in the build-up to the Germany v Poland game. The tabloid had a picture on the back page of the Polish coach holding up the severed heads of Michael Ballack and the German manager, under the headline "BRING US THEIR HEADS".

So its not just our tabs that cater for the numbskulls.

At least the Mail is written for a reading age of slightly higher than 8. Although you do suddenly get very racist, nationalistic, homophobic and violent tendencies after reading it. Reading the UK edition of it suddenly made myself feel I needed to kill myself

You see easy, thats where it starts, "I can handle it, its only once a week round my mums" you think...before long you will be noticing the ethnics taking your jobs and jamming up the hospital and thinking that poor people should be forced to clear minefields in Afghanistan by hand...

I can see how it can turn into something of a slippery slope.
The sport coverage is pretty good though. I try not to venture any further back than that.

Reminds me of watching an episode of 'Mock The Week' once, where they were doing their "If this is the answer, what is the question" round. The 'answer' was:

Crazy, Loopy and Un-British

To which one of the suggested questions was 'If you read the Daily Mail, what is everything'.
