Very quietly, it would appear.

Ah well that's two fingers up at us isn't it

meglet · 21/01/2015 23:08

I've just seen this on twitter. Murdoch is a warped piece of work.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 21/01/2015 23:13

Well, Birdo will be pleased that he can get a little tingle over his cornflakes tomorrow.

So pleased for him Hmm

KarmaViolet · 21/01/2015 23:20

Yes. And at least poor Nicole won't be destitute and sent to the workhouse because according to twitter that's what was going to happen if page 3 was abolished. Hmm

BobbyDarin · 21/01/2015 23:22

The Sun couldn't afford to look like losers. But printing it tomorrow doesn't mean it's going to get printed again on Monday, for example.

AWholeLottaNosy · 21/01/2015 23:52

Just read this. Cunts.

Page 3 lives!

I told you so! Don't assume anything until you hear actual confirmation from a proper source.

Quote from Thu's Page 3:
“Further to recent reports in all other media outlets, we would like to clarify that this is Page 3 and this is a picture of Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth. " -accompanied with a topless photo of Nicole, on page 3 "between page 2 and page 4" exactly as Murdoch said.

oh you already know. teach me for not reading

GingerCuddleMonster · 22/01/2015 00:24

though I don't condone page 3, this has been played very well by the paper/business. I think old RM may have read the art of war Shock.

"If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant."

fayyive · 22/01/2015 00:35

I think RM wanted everyone to think Page 3 had ended.

Possibly because he wanted to see the reaction, and very possibly also because he decided to have a bit of fun and toy with people who want the end of Page 3.

I bet he's having a little giggle to himself inbetween sips of his cocktail in his big mansion.

PetulaGordino · 22/01/2015 07:07

Given that the original notion was in the Times, I don't think it's unreasonable for people to assume there was truth in the rumour. Obviously it is clear that was a double-bluff, so all those who guessed can feel superior

Apparently the Sun has had a 'mammary lapse' and page 3 us back today Grin

PuffinsAreFictitious · 22/01/2015 07:58

No. Not much at all.

In fact, lots of women today who are going to be shown bare teen breasts today by sad, ineffectual men and crowing young women as a fuck you.

One of the biggest selling daily newspapers in the UK thinks this little of half the population. Nice.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 22/01/2015 07:59

I rest my case.

Sad, ineffectual men.

MillieMagnolia · 22/01/2015 08:11

For all the naysayers to the campaign - would you like your own daughter to pose like Nicole as a page 3 model ? If the answer is no - you would prefer her to aspire to something else , then surely you must turn to support the campaign for no more page 3.

The S*n's PR man, Dylan Sharpe, is tweeting topless pictures to women leading the no more Pg 3 campaigns, with a "this one's for you" message. Because this isn't about men hating women at all. Nope, nothing to see here.

PetulaGordino · 22/01/2015 08:20

it's just banter isn't it puffins?

slug · 22/01/2015 08:20

Oh right. 'Just tits'. I suppose he wouldn't object to page 4 with pictures of 'just cocks' then?

It's funny how they object when they think they are going to be constantly scrutinised and compared to an unrealistic ideal. After all it's not like men don't get their cocks out in public with depressing frequency especially on a Saturday night

PuffinsAreFictitious · 22/01/2015 08:27

Oh, yes Petula, all just lovely bantz.

So Dylan Sharpe likes looking at 21-year-olds' breasts?

Interesting.

I'm guessing, then, that he must be, what ... 19-22? 23, then?

Anything older than that would be just grim, otherwise.

Ubik1 · 22/01/2015 09:28

It's just excellent publicity for The Sun.

Murdoch must be chuckling away to himself.
