I literally CBA to discuss the Sun's women hating antics but directly tweeting nude photos to people who had been involved in the P3 campaigning.
Surely, that can't be allowed??

I think we will all agree it's actually Dylan Sharpe who is the real victim here (take your seat right next to that other "victim" Ched Evans, Mr Sharpe):

He's been whining to the DM.

Mr Sharpe said: "That page has been tweeted tens of thousands of times and I do not see it is any different with me tweeting it.
"Given the number of people who have tweeted that page... I could not have expected that response this time.
"Look at my mentions and the number of people calling me (all) manner of nasty horrible things."

What a Grade A dick.

Nope, if you disagree with him about anything, he blocks you. Doesn't stop him tweeting at you though. Because he's a fuck head.

Maybe people could return the favour by sending him pictures of throbbing penii.

treacle I was thinking the same!

My world has been thrown into turmoil here because I don't think I've ever found myself sympathising with Kay Burley before. Confused

But in all seriousness, I also find that very creepy and very inappropriate.

So the Sun's Head of PR is engaging in online sexual harassment?

Um, someone's in the wrong job

"It's a bit of fun" is the excuse used by sexual harassers everywhere, but even our society recognises that it's not a good excuse anymore.

He should be sacked. His PR skills are crap. You can't argue that Page 3 isn't a form of sexual harassment while at the same time be openly sexually harassing women on the internet.

I'm actually surprised by that, I know many of their readers are thick but I didn't think the staff were in that little bubble too.

Dylan Sharpe...not very sharp. Instead nasty, petty, stalkerish and smug.

I used to think the sun was pathetic/juvenile for pg3 (ok and perhaps wilfully ignorant). Now clear they're going out of their way to upset people. Nasty, as well as pathetic/juvenile/ignorant. Repulsive.

OmnipotentQueenOfTheUniverse · 22/01/2015 11:50

It's pathetic isn't it.

Just shows blatantly that the reason they want to keep page 3 is now nothing to do with the readers and everything to do with making a point and setting out to upset anyone who doesn't like it who are mainly women and girls. I mean a man sitting on the tube next to a man staring at it might feel irritated but it's not the same feeling as a 14yo girl sitting next to him while he's staring at it and pressing his leg insistently against hers for eg. Which happened to me more than once when I was a schoolgirl.

It's a guy called Dylan Sharpe. The sun's PR guy.

Nick Ferrari isn't know for his intelligence.

They seem to be getting more extreme in their desire to say "fuck you" and I wonder how far they will go TBH.

The Sun are doing the tweeting? Or randoms?

Either way it's shit isn't it.

Going out of your way to expose someone to something they have told you upsets them is shitty bullying behaviour and something that we go out of our way to teach toddlers is the wrong thing to do FFS.

If repeatedly sent to the same person it should constitute as harassment. I'd hope so. Angry

I was listening to Call Clegg on LBC and they spoke about this. Nick Ferrari said "well feminism is about choice." Whatever happened to equality?
