Hadley Freeman gets it right, again.

Why would you hate the DM? It's been the source of the most exciting thing that's happened to you all week....all year possibly.

Oh yes Nancy, I haven't been this excited since I got a free bottle of wine in my supermarket delivery three years ago. No, wait, I had sex on Monday, so this isn't the most exciting thing that's happened to me this week.

We've all had him Elinorbellowed. He's not that exciting!

LineRunner · 04/04/2012 22:38

Hadley Freeman truly has you in her sights...

That kwik fit ad is amazing!!!

bumbleymummy · 05/04/2012 07:35

Love the kwik fit ad!

Just read the Hadley article. I nearly agree with her, but for one thing: the DM didn't print the Brick article because the paper hates women: the DM printed the article because it is a reflection of a society that hates women.

The DM is simply acting as a mirror to society, and giving readers what they want to read.

vincettenoir · 05/04/2012 09:06

Putting aside the debate about how attractive she is or isn't (she isn't). The most offensive thing in this article is the claim that women hate other women just because they are more attractive than them. This is so derogatory!

As quoted on the Rikki Lake show, 'She ain't all that!'
Grin

Yes.... very deluded.

melika · 05/04/2012 09:13

ps I have never heard of her before!

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 09:58

Hi belgo, I Guess I don't think that the Daily Mail just passively reflects society; I think it helps to actively affect it, too.

PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 10:06

oh cheesy - thank you for those links. I was snorting with laughter in a very inappropriate way in the office

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2012 10:12

I am starting to doubt she is going to actually be on This Morning. They haven't put her name in the line up still. Confused

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 10:17

Sparkling, yes I see that it still says Being Beautiful in the programme list.

For 11.15 I think.

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 10:19

Ruth Langsford just did a trailer and says she's on.

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2012 10:20

Mmmmm. Mysterious Line. Ten minutes until we find out. People talking about her 'Being Beautiful' not really the same.

Goolash · 05/04/2012 10:27

I had to laugh at the "beautiful" woman discussing it on Lorraine. I'm not intending to make any judgement on how beautiful she is, or pull he looks apart.

She was talking about getting looks from other women at the gym because she was wearing a bikini. Now I really hope she was talking about in the swimming pool area, because is she did weights and cycling machines in one then of course she'd get Hmm it would be a bit odd Grin

I have a vision of her in a skimpy little thong inspired number, those drawn on eyebrows, bobbing along.

Goolash · 05/04/2012 10:30

Vincettenoir

Yes, I agree. She was being rude about most other women.

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 10:30

Yes This Morning now says Samantha Brick is on at 11.15 and says this about her on its website:

"Journalist Samantha Brick, 41, caused a worldwide debate on Tuesday when she proclaimed that she is hated for being beautiful. Blaming jealous women, Samantha claims this negativity had affected her career, her relationships and has even stopped her from ever being a bridesmaid. Samantha is here to talk about the immense reaction to her story and why she believes that all the negativity has proven her right."

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2012 10:32

Right Eamonn. We are trusting you. Angry

Shame she can't be on Loose Women after. That I would like to see. Grin

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2012 10:35

Eamonn's getting excited at the thought. Ooh there she is!!!

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2012 10:47

Photos to peruse while we are waiting Grin

Two words. Muffin top. Shock
