We don't care about Pippa's bottom. It's so boring. Who is interested in this?

Please lose the Kardashians - in all shapes and forms. They are famous because their father defended O J Simpson. Say no more.

Have you seen Paris Hilton's sex tape? It's so embarrassing yet she's now a celebrity with ' star power'. The world has gone mad. Who on this earth gives a damn about Paris Hilton?

I could go on, but I might get vexed,....

What are 'the Kardashians'?

And where is Paris Hilton?

PosiePerkinPootle · 11/06/2011 09:05

I totally agree...also couldn't give a rats arse about towie ( have never watched it..don't know who these people are) suri cruises shoes, or poshs "sacrifices" over being a "working" mum.

fuzzpigFriday · 11/06/2011 09:08

I agree. And while your at it, maybe stop airbrushing women one week and then criticising their bodies the next.

CurlyBoy · 11/06/2011 10:23

I care about Pippas' bottom! It was the best part of watching the wedding. Ok, maybe second best part after that amazing Aston Martin they drove off in.

southeastastra · 11/06/2011 10:28

agree but have to say i do like the kardashians for some mad reason

vmcd28 · 11/06/2011 10:48

I cared about Pippa's bum for 24 hours, then not so much.

In the DM yesterday (I know, I know) they were criticising Nicola Maclean (glamour model) for going out with a top that showed her saggy/wrinkly baby belly. Yet last week they were all caring about her cos she admitted to having AN EATING DISORDER. So, nice responsible reporting from them.

Oops just realised I meant you're not your Blush

Maybe I should work for the Grauniad :o

Lovecat · 11/06/2011 11:19

Oh, is that why the Kardashians are famous?

I could never work that one out....[dense]

CrapBag · 11/06/2011 12:20

YADNBU!!!!!!!!!

BitOfFun · 11/06/2011 12:22

I thought the Kardashians were in Star Trek? I wondered why their name kept cropping up Confused

Cymar · 11/06/2011 12:55

LOL @ BitOfFun. I'm sure those species were Cardassians. I usually say Kardashians when talking to my trekkie DB when rather pished pissed Wink.

NoseyNooNoo · 11/06/2011 13:04

I have no idea who the Kardashians are and am not sure what channel TOWIE is on or whether it's a documentary or fiction. I am so bored of Philippa too. I'm not sure if this is just me gettting old but the 'popular press' do seem obsessed with the minutiae of bland people's lives.

begonyabampot · 11/06/2011 13:16

is it a sigh you are aging when you read the papers and you don't know who all these people are?

a bit off topic but saw a clip of Peter Andre's real life TV show and he totally creeps me out. Does anybody like him?

scottishmummy · 11/06/2011 23:56

your post says more about you,op,than the meeja
fact is you know and get indignant about this shite. but you being an avid consumer if media detritus doesnt mean you should censor others readership

dont read daily mail,bit dont care if anyone else does

GooGooGadget · 12/06/2011 00:00

read i.

:)

UrsulaBuffay · 12/06/2011 00:01

I don't know what a Jwoww is or Selena Gomez.

Stop writing evil shit about women's bodies, leave us all the fuck alone.

tomhardyismydh · 12/06/2011 00:02

who is pippa and whats wrong with her bottom?

and

who are the kardashians?

and

why would I want to watch paris hiltons sex tape?

the mind boggles.

op try reading a better news paper, listening to a better news and radio channel and you may never hear these names again.

just a suggestion

UrsulaBuffay · 12/06/2011 00:03

Are we all pretending we don't have MailOnline as a favourite peruse the trashier papers?

scottishmummy · 12/06/2011 00:04

radio scotland-no karwhatsthefuckdashians
at all

OpusProSerenus · 12/06/2011 00:05

Not only could we lose all this rubbish but how about being really controversial and asking them could you just report the news instead of trying to manufacture it? Could you please try to just give us the facts and let us make up our own minds, like adults, as to what we think instead of you just telling us what you want us to think?

scottishmummy · 12/06/2011 00:05

mn has daily mail links from folks who dont read it,daily

tomhardyismydh · 12/06/2011 00:07

it tends to be the first shot up in google and most links are also probably examples of poor and one sided reporting.

HarrietSchulenberg · 12/06/2011 00:13

Don't buy it and don't click on it. Can you tell I've been at the Boycotting thread recently?

tomhardyismydh · 12/06/2011 00:16

I boycotted years ago when a care setting I worked at had it delivered daily against my daily protests at it arriving, I often posted back through the letter box.

tomhardyismydh · 12/06/2011 00:18

actually what made me leave as they refused to have a community care magazine subscription as they said no one bothers to read it
