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,....

LadyBeagleEyes · 12/06/2011 01:15

I have no idea who or what you are all talking about.

Thank fuck for that.

If you don't like what's in you choice of media, stop reading it. They only publish this stuff because it sells newspapers/raises viewing figures. If it didn't, they wouldn't.

Radio 2, 4 and occasionally a Telegraph here. Although I do have to ignore pictures on the front of the Telegraph sometimes.

NorksAreMessy · 12/06/2011 07:43

Oooh, the Telegraph.
I am a Guardianista, my DH is still welded to the Telegraph...because of the crossword FFS.

We play...'is that really news' with the Torygraph. You can open it at ANY page and there will be at least one story which is not only not news, but it is often 'anti-news' i.e. Something starting with 'scientists have predicted.....' or 'a survey has discovered that people like to change their freezer every two years. The survey, conducted by ABC FreezerCO.....' in other words, PR puff pieces.

DH KNOWS that it is just a jumped-up tabloid, but he still persists.
Should I leave the fucker?

PS I do know who the Kardashians are, from trailers, but I don't know why anyone cares.

Being on tv is great. Surely everybody knows it's the only way to prove you actually exist in this century...?

I hate the mail but perversely I read it online to seethe and get all indignant by it (and the comments - the best bit). The whole woman hate thing with the ridiculous stories about a zoom up from a mile away of some celebs cellulite on one page then on the next bemoaning some poor anorexic sufferers plight etc.

Now, i've released that the Mail is actually doing a sneaky backwards public service. They print these ridiculous stories about that saggy baby tummy and then sit back and watch the reading public defend these poor woman to the hilt. So really they are bringing us all together, it's rather warm and fuzzy actually.

I believe it was Kim Kardashians sex tape that cemented her 'fame' and Laurene Fishbournes daughter cited her as inspiration for launching her porn career!

the number of women who have become famous through 'leaked' sex tapes/naked pics/ upskirt no nknicks make me want to puke, it is now a defacto requirement for many women to become quite wealthy and psudeo famous

That being said was quite impressed with Kims 'strangler' technique

GabbyLoggon · 12/06/2011 11:57

Tabloids? they are in a ratings war for selling newspapers. They say that a mixture of busts, bums and royals sells papers. And thats why they do it I think the royals thing is tedious. I am told the mail on sunday is full of it today. (do youlot buy it for that? I imagine a lot of the women do)
