SuperMikey Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I know there's already a thread on the Pistorius case, but I think this deserves a thread of its own. https://static-secure.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2013/2/15/1360930012140/The-Sun-Oscar-Pistorius-f-001.jpg That's the front page of The Sun today. Completely tasteless, inappropriate and only serves to compound the disdain that I feel for that "newspaper". Discuss.

Saintandy666 Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Got told about that front page by someone today. I didn't realise quite how bad it actually was, although I suppose we should expect little else from the Sun.
Bearsy Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 They know their market! I'm their market! If i hear bout bird in the news, no matter if it's cos she's dead or cos she's won lottery or cos she strangles babies the first thing i want to know is what her boobs look like.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 The sun always report in a rule 1 style. If you don't like it don't buy it. I don't like it and therefore don't buy it but I will check it out for free if I am in a pub or a cafe and there is a copy lying around.
corky morris Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I will never pay anything for the rag that is The Sun. I am no Scouse lover, but the way they treated those Liverpool fans after Hillsborough was an utter disgrace.
Bearsy Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 i quite often buy it! I don't really bother much with front page i turn to page 3 and look at the boobs and then i like to find out where the boobs is living and confirm that they is 19 years old and i like how they now include an implausible quote bout her views on the the political situation in Nicaragua or wherever. Then i flick through the other pages just checking for any hot girls or funny headlines. I always read the Dear Deidre's very carefully. They is my favourite bit! If there is a good one i cut it out and keep it in my wallet and then if i find someone who could benefit from the problem i give it to them at later date. Like the other day i see a fat girl struggling to get out her car at Asda so i extracted "Dear Deidre My Boyfriend Says My Bum Is Too Big" from my wallet and helpfully tucked it under her windshield wiper. Then i go to the puzzles page and i do the beginner maths one in my head and sometimes i get it right. If i do get it right i then try and do the intermediate maths puzzle. I usually get that one wrong. Then i read the cartoons. Then i turn to the back pages and see what's happening bout the football. It's a good 8 minutes solid entertainment.
Thedelldays Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 The daily updates on that Harry from 1 Direction are very informative
sotonjoe Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Love it. I had a **** and shed a tear at the same time. Killed two birds with one stone.
Dr Who? Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 **** paper, never read it, and have/will not read this article either. I spit in their general direction!
LVSaint Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Killed two birds with one stone. No it was one bird, and he did it with a gun, not a rock.
SaintBobby Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Not a fan of the paper. But I'm not offended by that frontpage. What's the offensive bit supposed to be?
Faz Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Not a fan of the paper. But I'm not offended by that frontpage. What's the offensive bit supposed to be? I don't think the OP said it was offensive, just tasteless. It is tasteless, imo.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 No one can ever accused the sun of having taste! I haven't seen today's front page but I bet it includes some made up story, a b1tch in a bikini, something mildly racist and France for a pound token.
trousers Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Devil's advocate.... If the Sun front page is tasteless then what does "re-publishing" it achieve? By posting it here the number of people offended by it is likely to rise. Aren't you just perpetuating what the Sun has achieved in the first place? If its tasteless and offensive surely the less people that see it the better? End of Devil's advocate post.

Me putting it on here is a drop in the ocean, given that The Sun is sold in almost every shop in the UK, their website gets millions of hits and the Guardian's story about the front-page controversy has received a lot of coverage. I wouldn't say that me putting the front page on here is exposing too many more people to it - and besides this thread is supposed to provoke debate!
Barry Sanchez Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 ...king rag, a disgrace of a paper, how anyone can call this journalism is beyond me, I will honestly be so happy when this ****e folds.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Alright dune - we believe you are a scouser, just leave it now
The Kraken Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Dunno what the fuss is about. Fit bird who used to kit off for lads mags gets shot by national icon. The Sun is a laughable rag, not sure what the problem is here.
Barry Sanchez Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Alright dune - we believe you are a scouser, just leave it now Ha ha, always hated it, tory rag, the mouthpiece of the rich to the white van man.
hypochondriac Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Alright dune - we believe you are a scouser, just leave it now What was more amusing was last week when he pretended to hate Thatcher.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 What's the big deal, if people are offended by it then don't buy it. Always makes me laugh when right on lefties complain about it, but won't have a word said against the chavs that buy it. Its not like its funded by a poll tax and you have to pay for it regardless of whether you read it or not. It is the number one selling paper, not by accident, but by appealing to a large portion of the country. Nobody forces people to buy it

Most of us despise the paper and the Jeremy Kyle watching idiots, whose best aspects were left to run down their mothers legs, who read it.

I'm talking about lefties on poll tax funded BBC and guardian writters etc. Basically famous lefties, not forum posters. I've lost count of the number of times the sun and Murdoch has been attacked on qt, with no mention of the fact people buy it. Of course lefties can't criticise the readership because its a lot of the people they'll be defending in the next breath.

Surely unless she's topless, you're none the wiser?? Agree with most other folks on here - disgrace of a paper. Why anyone would pick up that rag instead of a real newspaper is beyond me.

It doesn't change the fact that The Sun is a f*cking sh!t paper and those who read it as their main source of news are sorely misguided.

It doesn't change the fact that The Sun is a f*cking sh!t paper and those who read it as their main source of news are sorely misguided. I would say that what sums up a lot of what's wrong with broken Britain is the fact that the sun is its number one paper. It shows our morals, our trashy culture, our political debate and our education standards. I just love the birds with their tits out who comment on the worlds great events. "Cindy 19 from Exeter is really sad the pope is stepping down, so have a look at her tits". Nobody will spell out the truth because the numpties that buy the sun also vote. Much easier to attack journalists & Murdoch instead.
Barry Sanchez Posted 17 February, 2013 Posted 17 February, 2013 Cheap tat with no political merit, fair play to a tory or a libby who know their reasons and can articulate their conscience for doing so, most or all sun readers are can not though or none I have ever met, sheep thats all.

Barry Sanchez Posted 17 February, 2013 Posted 17 February, 2013 What was more amusing was last week when he pretended to hate Thatcher. Why pretend? I dislike Thatchers and her policies she implemented, the wasteland that she left, silverware of the people gone.
Spudders Posted 17 February, 2013 Posted 17 February, 2013 I bet Kev from Corrie is pleased his peado efforts are being over shadowed!
