Not defending The Sun, as such, but the subjects/circumstances aren't comparable at all.

Without comparing subjects though, having a 'sexy' bikini shot of the deceased victim 24 hrs after her death is hardly tasteful is it.

It was her job. She was obviously very proud of her body and shows what a beautiful woman/sort she was. I don't see a problem

It's a bit of a wierd thing to do isn't it. If she's pissing you off and you absolutely have to shoot her, just hit her in the leg or something. No need to start killing your bird over a domestic.

No it isn't, but I don't think she would mind given her job. A lot of people seem offended on her behalf today.

Look I'm not personally offended by it, but you have to accept that as a front page, as a full blown image, without her name even being included, it's not exactly tasteful is it. To me it screams 'buy me, I will scrape the intellectual gutter on your behalf and titillate you in the process, there is shit all else inside and it will only cost you 40p', if that floats your boat, then I suppose that is why it sells so many copies...

I won't have that, some of the stuff in Dear Deirdre would knock Jeremy Kyles stuff in to a cocked hat !

She is DEAD though. it would be pretty bloody difficult for her to kick up a fuss.

Based on that logic, If she had ever done a topless shoot, that picture could have been used on page 3 as it was 'her job'?

Of course, im twisting it, but I think I do think it's completely tastelss in this instance.

ps Oscar has 'Strongly denied' the charge of Murder.

"The alleged murder is disputed in the strongest terms", said a statement released by Mr Pistorius's family and management company after the court hearing.

Will be interesting* to see what his side of the story is


*obviously 'interesting' isn't the best word when someone's lost their life.

I'm not denying she is a gorgeous girl and that it was her job, and maybe she wouldn't mind that picture being posted however I do find it all very distasteful and just seems a cheap ploy but the sun showing sexualised picture of the poor girl who is current laying on a slab in a mortuary... It just seems morally wrong sexualising this girl barely after her death...

For the record think he is guilty as hell... A history of domestics and arguments that night. Then Hun shots fired.... Tens mins and then more shots.... Poor girl

Iam not getting into adebate about guns. Again, The Truth might get involved and that moron makes me want to put my own fist through my brain.

Hi, Nibble. Nice to see NSCs professional film and TV actor is still mentioning me in most of his posts.
You must work out a fair bit to be able to achieve impaling your hand into your brain!? It's actually pretty impressive and i'm honoured to be the person who gets the credit for your actions. It's the thought that counts.

PS Let me know when your next movie release is xxxx
