I'm fairly sure I could find a blog post to back my assertions up not one I'd have written though, oh no

Still giggling about the putative prehistoric fertility goddess being what 'cavemen' jacked off to. Couldn't possibly be that those statues represent a heavily pregnant and therefore fecund female figure, could it? Nope, must be the 'caveman' version of a spank mag.

Birdo may well explode if he ever sees any pictures of Diana of Ephesus. All those breasts.... must be super sonic Greek wank fodder.

Can I just say that that article was fucking hilarious. Really really funny. That anyone would be stupid enough to suggest it as an argument for men of any bent needing to see teenage girls bare breasts in a so-called newspaper is rather sad though, and shows a marked lack of critical thinking skills. Or thinking skills of any kind.

Just for info. The S*n's 'sister' paper in Ireland dumped the bewbs in 2013. No Irishmen's dicks fell off as a result. Not one. The paper's figures didn't go down either.

If you want to get cross with someone making all those poor teenagers unemployed, have a word with Uncle Rupert. I'm sure he's all over finding them gainful employment, he's all about the empowerment of women, innit.

Yeo that will be Victoria.

"he is shrill of voice"

Possibly because someone has him by the giant testicles, chockbic?

TheHoundsBitch · 20/01/2015 17:54

Maybe I'm the cynical one... Grin

TheHoundsBitch · 20/01/2015 17:38

It doesn't feel like a start to me, it feels like I a cynical, calculated missing of the point by The Sun's PR team. And I think it will be back 'by popular demand' in less than 6 months.

ChunkyPickle · 20/01/2015 17:06

Your arguments are emotional and lack logic

you had me going until you said that - well played :)

Hounds - it's a start, getting the scantily clad women out of the papers is a much bigger, harder target - did you see that video someone posted recently where they'd cut out all the pictures of men and women for some amount of time, then pasted them all on the wall - it was depressing the stark difference in the mens' wall and the womens'

chockbic · 20/01/2015 17:05

Possibly not, for he is shrill of voice.

Does evolutionary psychology suggest that I might programmed to be interested chockbic?

chockbic · 20/01/2015 17:01

The Daily Mail has got Becks in his kecks, if anyone's interested.

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 20/01/2015 17:00

Easy enough to grab them; the huge testicles make running tricky.

Amethyst24 · 20/01/2015 16:54

Picking up giant-testicled men in wine caves and dragging them off by their hair, grimble? Grin

grimbletart · 20/01/2015 16:50

Ooh I don't Amethyst - perhaps they were early cougars.

GingerCuddleMonster · 20/01/2015 16:50

I have to agree with TheHounds I can't really see it as a victory for nmp3, there is still a half naked woman on page 3, you just don't see nipple now.

"European archaeologists have been discovering a lot of prehistoric carvings depicting women, some older than 23,000 years"

Bet their tits were none too perky.

PetulaGordino · 20/01/2015 16:42

(Imagining of course that that is the pinnacle of human interaction)

PetulaGordino · 20/01/2015 16:41

honestly birdo, bless you for thinking you're being scientific, logical and unemotional Grin

TheHoundsBitch · 20/01/2015 16:41

I think it's a really hollow victory, I thought the goal was to stop objectifying women, not censor their nipples? I can't celebrate this because it just isn't a good result imo. They are still going to have a 'Page 3 Girl' but she will be wearing a bra, have I understood what is happening correctly? Because if I have I can't understand why we are supposed to be happy about it.

PetulaGordino · 20/01/2015 16:37

We are of course forgetting all those big-testicled carvings made by "cave women" to depict the "porn stars" of their day
