Daggers Posted 11 June 2012 Posted 11 June 2012 Will someone please think of the children! While newspapers campaign against "paedos" and the "sexualisation" of our kids through adverts they still can't kick the old titilation. On one page in the Star they lambaste the "sick show" Brass Eye and its "out-of-touch" bosses - on the other page they refer to the (then) 15yr old Charlotte Church with leering lines like “she’s a big girl now” and “[she's] looking chest swell”. An under-age, fifteen year old girl. 'But that's ages ago, Dave' I hear you say, 'papers are really moving with the times now.' Hmm. Enter stage left, The Daily Mail. Sorry...that should have been stage right. Today's Mail has a report on a pregnant 15-year-old who was modelling in underwear at 12. Paul Sims, the seedy hack writing the article, informs us that the photos of the pre-pubescent girl were taken in “provocative adult pose” and inspired “a deluge of twisted emails from ‘strange men’”. The Mail then has to show you how shocking these paedo-attracting pics are by, err, printing them in the paper so you can be shocked too. Meanwhile, its website runs pictures of 14-year-old Kylie Jenner in a "tiny wetsuit" and "skimpy bikinis". SHE'S FOURTEEN YOU FVCKING ARSEHOLES. Isn't it about time this pathetic waste of paper had its days numbered? Isn't it about time people stopped subsidising such hypocritical bollocks? Isn't it about time Paul Sims was repeatedly kicked in the bollocks? http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/voices/2012/06/sex-children-and-mail-online http://bensix.wordpress.com/2011/08/17/think-of-the-children/

From a business perspective it probably makes sense for the Mail to take a strong line on paedophiles whilst simultaneously providing them with material to have a wank over. It really does have universal appeal

I find it amazing how much attention people pay to it, if it wasn't for threads like this I wouldn't even know it existed.

Rincewind Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 Saw something on Tumblr last week which comes from another POV other than male. It was like a poster and had something like What if there was a picture of a semi-clothed man everyday on page three of a newspaper, jokes were made about male body parts on a nightly basis, wolf whistles by gang of females as men walked by them. Maybe once or twice it may be amusing but daily for years on end how would you as a man feel. It went something like that anyway. How would you feel? Some female comedians are hitting back but they are not considered funny by men as a rule. Are they?
Guest MattP Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 Probably because in general women just arent funny, I almost feel like I'm patronising when I try to laugh at a female comedian, even more so when they resort to their period or scoffing themselves. The only time women really make me laugh is when they say something stupid and they don't realise.
Bugg Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 It's a shame the media slated that Brass Eye show, it really was hilarious.
Christoph Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 Saw something on Tumblr last week which comes from another POV other than male. I no there are plenty of people looking at those three letters and thinking of something right now.

I wish women were wolf whistling me and making sexy comments about my body. but then again I'm a touché feelé type of guy.
Rincewind Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 I think the point they were making is if it happened every day over several years it would become annoying.
