    Consider for a moment the dirty practical realities of those responsible for bringing stuff like this to the masses

    And consider why they do it. Because some equally retarded person will want to read about this sort of stupidity in a low grade newspaper.

    Lots of things we consider outrageous wouldn't occur if there was a market for them.

    At the end of the day, there job is to sell newspapers. They do very well at that. Which is a scary thought.

    They were crazy to think he'd do much between now and the worlds.


    Even then, the worlds is a bit of a stretch.

    This is the sun dont forget which I am pleased to say I have never bought and 'read' maybe twice. It is designed for people dumber than the people who write it which isnt saying much.

    It was also in the Mail. So it was trying to appeal to stupid people who like pictures of breasts, and racists who like pictures of breasts / Suri Cruise / tut and mumble about lack talent while staring at Rihanna's legs.

    So,by Ians thinking if you read the Mail you are racist.Does that mean if you are a priest,you are a paedo,A german a nazi,A follower of Ivan Basso a doper,Live in London a wanker.And so on.
    The answer is no to all of the above.
    Stick to posting about the topic Ian,Not stereotyping.

    I thought stereotyping was the Mail's game?

    My favourite mail headline was "One in 20 Londoners is an Immigrant!"

    So a mere 95% of people in Britains capital were born in the UK? Shocked.

    Over in the Daily Mail, sweeping generalisations are the order of the day.

    Two opening paragraphs:

    "Nobody, not even the French, objects to people making a lot of money...", writes Peter. In France. Paper Monitor appreciates you can speak for the French and the British, but nobody in the whole world? Not Class War or the WRP? Really?

    And then:

    "You don't have to be a seafarer to know the meaning of 'bosun' (boatswain or bo's'n), a warrant officer of petty officer in charge of a ship's deck, crew, rigging, anchors and cables," writes Neil in Co Down.

    Paper Monitor can only surmise that Neil lives in a world entirely inhabited by pub quiz buffs.

    Here's a random headline generator for the Daily Mail

    Reading the Daily Mail doesn't mean you are a racist homophobic bigot, but it is hard to understand why anyone would want to read such racist homophobic bigotry if they weren't, still, each to their own.

    I had you down as someone who looked at Rihanna's legs while tutting about lack of talent actually.

    It cant be for the balanced analysis...

    Although for all its faults, I believe the Mail was the only main newspaper to keep on about the people who murdered Steven Lawrence. Which makes the general racial undertones even more strange.

    For the center pages with the "Puzzles" while I was in several Hospitals for 5 months.
    Then my wife gets it every Saturday for the TV times.

    FFS let the guy have a fag, infact have a pack. :Ledge status assured and reinforced by pic. BTW. Perceived wisdom is the Daily Mail's readership is non-professional middle classes according to advertising targets. It gives you cancer though. :D

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned the French cycling slang expression ‘Il fume la pipe’ (he’s smoking a pipe), which is used when a leader nonchantly watches what activity is going on around him during a stage, but he doesn’t need to particularly react.
    It may have been appropriate to Wiggins on the road during the TdF, and now maybe applies to him in pubs after the Olympics.

    Not sure if anyone has said this already, and it doesn't really matter to me if he wants to have a smoke, but looking at the second picture in the article, it's not even him holding the cigarette. Its the back of a right hand, and you can see the inside of wiggos elbow. so unless he is a contortionist with two right hands, he is sticking to the vin rouge
