I am a man (33 years old and 40-38-36 if it's relevant to anyone) and work in an industry where there is usually a copy of the sun laying around - although I'm not a fan myself.
Today the front page headline is - page 3 saved my life and tells the story of a mum of four who as a direct result of the sun's check'em Tuesday campaign has discovered stage two cancer that would otherwise have gone unchecked.
Now I would never dispute that this is a good news story having witnessed the heartbreak and misery caused by cancer first hand but AIBU to wonder if the real reason for the campaign as far as the proprietor is concerned is not to save Wendy and others like her but instead to save page 3 itself?
Also even assuming that my suspicion is correct does saving the life of one women and quite possibly many more justify having to put up with page 3 and the casual sexism that it promotes?

AIBU?
To be deeply cynical regarding The Sun's page 3 campaign?
