DAILY STAR: PAGE THREE BURKA STUNT- does anyone know more?

[donnie]

I have just heard on Radio 4 that today the Star was going to run a page 3 style naked woman in a Burka, along with - get this - a competition to burn a burka and win a car. Yes I know it sounds too crazy and offensive to be true but Eddie Mair has just reported it! Apparently the printers and some of the journos refused and the lawyers were called in and it was pulled, but the Star intends to run a revised version tomorrow.

Does anyone else know anything about this?my jaw is still on the floor.

how tasteful of them, who is eddie mair?

Wasn't it burn a flag and win a Corsa?

Heard it on Radio 4.

Nice.

What a lovely classy publiction it is.

Eddie Mair presents the 'Today' programme in the mornings on Radio 4.

Eddie Mair does the afternoon 5 - 6pm slot. Edward Sturton does the morning programme.

obviously not a big news item then!!

I'm curious, how is a woman naked when wearing a burkha???

I think the intention was she would be naked as in page three but also wearing a burqua , obviously in an attempt to humiliate and denigrate Muslim women and ridicule the whole concept of the burqua.
