Daily Star Closes

[Katiekitty]

Just seen this:

www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=46915&c=1

Sorry for those losing their jobs, but hey, it's a crap, sexist, nastly little publication and I'm with Object on getting the like removed from the newspaper shelves.

Just thought I'd share the news

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Oh, that confused me. You've put Star not Sport in your thread title.

[msrisotto]

Is this an April fool??

Wow, I still see copies of this in the windows of white vans and stuff so am pleased to hear they are no more.

[Flaneuse]

Fantastic news! Lads' mags and page 3 next - here's hoping...

[Snorbs]

Rarely is the phrase "Good riddance to bad rubbish" more apt.

[Katiekitty]

Oops, I was typing while on the phone and wasn't paying attention to either task!

tis the sport obviously

Maybe the star next eh?

[MrIC]

hurrah!

wish it was the Star as well though

[Miggsie]

Gosh, does the level of male masturbation drop during a recession then?!

(It is good news, but alas, it wasn't done for reasons of taste, but economics)

[darleneconnor]

yipee!

[HerBeX]

hURRAH!!!!

[InmaculadaConcepcion]

Horrid publication. I'm glad no more trees will be killed for its pointless shite.

[AliceWorld]

Wow that's great! Is it def not an April fool though?

[AliceWorld]

It's f'ing true!

This bit made me laugh:
"When SMG took over the company in 2007 it hired Loaded founder James Brown as "consultant editor-in-chief" to help move the title from "sleazy to sexy" and recapture a "bit of the reckless fun of their early days"."

Yeh that would work

[TheCrackFox]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[thefinerthingsinlife]

Fantastic news!

[Earthymama]

Wonderful.

[ForkfulOfTabouleh]

Oh I am so looking forward to going to the local garage with DS to confirm that this is indeed true and that we don't have to walk past the pneumatic boobs and legs akimbo laydeez Daily Sport.

[AliceWorld]

We're taking them all down one by one!
