Cartoon in Private Eye

... couple in bed. Both looking a bit pissed off. She is saying "Did you just call me stunning?"

This is referencing the lawyer/sexism/LinkedIn photo comment, isn't it?

Sigh. I shouldn't care but I do... might actually write but not sure what to say! Something sarky ideally Grin

On a vaguely related note, I notice my local WHSmiths has Private Eye in the "men's" section...

things have improved - they used to put it on the top shelf with the soft porn.

not sure what your problem is with this cartoon, but if you have one, write in.

the Eye do get it badly wrong sometimes, the VW cartoon last time was well beyond being 'in poor taste'. Other times they do a great job of laughing at stupidity, intolerance and general bone-headedness.

I don't remember that.

There was a fuss about it - I think it might just have been WH Smith (WH Smug to the Eye) but other places did it too. A while ago though - getting old...

also a lot of upset about the cover following Princess Diana's death. The truth hurts...

The cartoon misses the point spectacularly, because it's a couple.

Now if it was say a cartoon in a court of law and the barrister had asked that question from the judge, i.e. 'My lord, did my you just call me stunning?', then the point would have been made.
