Why do people read the Daily Mail

[TwigTwoolett]

why oh why oh why?

My xp reads it which says alot doesn't it .

My mum reads it, shes racist homophobic and generally awful, and she doesnt even realise it.
I do tell her, but im in the wrong. The mail says.....

my mum reads it

saves the coupons for the dream house TOO

i have no idea why, to (try to) answer your question

i did ask her once and she said "the news is all the same, and i like the womens articles" LOL

Quote from my mum: "it fits on the table and the print doesn't come off on my hands" ...

rolls eyes

Because they feel it represents their views more closely than other papers.

I used to work next to someone who read the DM, so I read it for ages and ages (it was free). God it's an offensive paper, really misogynist. Very sniffy about other papers' "page 3 girls", but often running a photo of someone in a bikini on page 3 themselves, with some tangential news story attached ...

Oh, and I have no idea why my workmate bought the DM, he was a bit strange.

JT is a Mail reader.

A very intelligent, lovely woman who I have great respect for.

Yet another generalisation blown out of the water.

DM. it's cheap - in every sense

yes I know jools is a dm reader but I still like her

my sister is too .. and I like her too

but its just such tosh

There is a feature in Femail on the website atm headed "when did you last make love?", with accounts of the recent sex lives of various individuals, and alongside it is a very nice posed picture of the woman in the first account, captioned "Demelza Hussey had sex last Saturday"

• her parents must be so proud.

The whole piece is buttock-clenchingly embarrassing in fact. Yeuch. Why does the Mail do features like this and why does anybody volunteer for them? Are they all exhibitionists?

Dunno

you can get the same drivel on teletext letters page, and that's free LOL

(I would have linked to it but the Mail seems to have fixed it so that you can't use their URLs for links. Unless it's just me )

Just you PretendFriend

I like JT too, but she'd be the first to admit she votes Tory

Damn!!!

(It's those pesky underlines )

I hate myself for it but I always love it when I find one on the bus in the morning

It is so funny particularly if you view it in an ironic way

It's like most things in life though - dangerous if you take them completely at face value

ROFL @ Demelza Hussey - I thought you made that up, PretendFriend

My MIL is a Daily Mail reader. Coincidentally (not), she wasn't too chuffed when little BIL had a Muslim girlfriend.

I always feel vaguely soiled if I happen to catch sight of a DM article

My parents are DM readers. I still like 'em. I just don't agree with them very often

I could get mad and ranty about the Daily Wail, but life's too short. Suffice to say I agree with whomever it was who said 'There is no more depressing sight than sitting down on the Tube opposite someone gorgeous, making eye contact - and watching them get the DM out of their bag.'

Last night Fio

Because Twig, if everyone read the Guardian, there wouldn't be anyone to come on MN with their opposing views
