Why won’t the Daily Mail steal my thread?

[OinkFlapOinkFlap]

And neither will the other tabloids? Looking at you The Sun and The Mirror?

I want you to. Print this and not the threads from other posters who are genuinely looking for help.

C*^[$ the lot of you.

You’re not grabbing their attention.
You need to go Daily Mail, over here, woo hoo 👋🏼
Then tell them:
The queen is having an affair with Boris Johnson.
Michael Jackson and Princess Di are not dead, and are secretly living together in a tower block in Wolverhampton. Elvis lives in the flat below.
Meghan and Kate had a scuffle in the ballroom at Buck House, Harry decked William, and Princess Anne threw a bucket of water over all four of them.
President Trump is training to be an astronaut and is making plans for a one way mission to Venus.
Simon Cowell is launching a new reality show which is a mash up of X Factor and I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. It will be called Sing For Your Supper. He has to sing and viewers decide if he has performed well enough to earn food.
And David Beckham has told friends he identifies as a woman and is now called Becky, while Posh now identifies as a man called Victor.

If you choose to air your problems or opinions on a public platform it's not stealing. Maybe there are more interesting people to write about, you're no Meghan, once the silly season starts you may be in luck and get your 5 minutes of anonymous fame to moan about!

There's no story in your thread, why would anyone reprint it

Has that ever stopped a newspaper before ?

Why are you so outraged that the mail "steal" stories that people have freely shared on a public platform?

Why is it always just the DM that are called all the names under the sun for lifting threads. The Sun, Mirror, The Guardian & Loose Women all use MN yet I've never seen anyone reference them in their threads.

DGR well, yes it does generally stop them. They generally just lift the most ridiculous threads that are about 90% clearly bullshit. But they lift them because they’re daft, CFery is normally involved and/ or they’re shagigng the IL’s type threads. There is absolutely nothing on this thread that would make anyone want to reprint it.

I did. In my OP.

Will you quote me DM? Will you? Will you? Will you?

I dont think they will lift this tbh, doesn't make for riveting reading...

Because it's a thread about nothing and not very interesting ?

Oh, I don’t know - I’ve got two pages and 74 votes so far (YANBU is winning, thank you)

because of their hypocrisy in pretending to be highbrow, and then using the sidebar of shame to push exploitative pictures of women (mainly, sometimes they do get a chance to sneak kids in too) in Nuts-style poses ?

It needs a plot OP. You need a wedding where the bride insists you wear an £800 dress that you have to pay for but give to her afterwards, a mil who steals your underwear and whispers ‘he’ll never love you like he loves me’ every time your dh leaves the room or talk about how you shampoo your carpets every 48 hours and anyone who doesn’t is a slattern. They love that shit, you’re going about it the wrong way.

This is even worse than those threads where people put ‘Oh by the way - Daily Mail can fuck off if they think they can reprint this!’ or similar in their opening post. I know the average DM hack is hardly MENSA material, but I’m pretty sure they can crop an image or selectively copy and paste.

Quote what?! What have you said? Are you referring to a different thread?

No, this thread. They can publish everything on this thread.

Ooh 105 votes and YANBU is still winning! So, the majority do not want the DM nor other tabloids to print other threads. But they can print this one.

THink of this as my public service.

They should steal my thread about my gorgeous cat.

Are you ok?

Well brillohairmaybe we should start all threads with

Tabloids - I gIve you permission to publish this thread

Or

tabloids - I do not give you permission to publish anything in your sad rags*

Yanno, if something on the internet is irritating you to this extent OP then maybe step away from it for a bit. Go do something to sooth your soul.

Yes, are you ok OP? Too much sun maybe?

Well brillohairmaybe we should start all threads with

Tabloids - I gIve you permission to publish this thread

Why? They don't need your permission to publish something you have posted on a public forum. If you don't want something reported on in the Daily Mail then don't post it on MN.

These trite little disclaimers achieve nothing.

I love the anti-DM bile among the self-appointed intelligentsia yet you all know what it reports so you must be reading it!

You know how researchers debunked horoscopes by randomly throwing some predictions in the air and using the ones which fell face up ?

You could do the same with the Daily Mail. Just name a few of their mastastories (yes it was meant to sound rude) trigger subjects. Immigrants, muslims, the EU, single mothers, house prices, equal rights, paedosteria/skunksteria, and I'd be amazed if you didn't get a couple of hits in the first 4 pages.

That's how you know it's not a "newspaper". You don't need to read it to know what's in it. It's a news-by-numbers shitrag for people that don't want to be seen reading the Sun and haven't worked out how to fold the Telegraph.
