[QUOTE=sam.clarke;34785828]But you can't read The Sun at all, it is far too low-brow for the Facepunch snobbery. I must demand you not spend the vast amount of 30 of Her Majesty's finest pennies to kill an hour.[/QUOTE] Just go find a copy of the Metro if you're that desperate to kill time by reading a paper, at least they tend to have actual stories on the front cover not the latest about which celebrity can't keep their genitals away from a prostitute.

I like the quirky stories, the agony aunt section and the sport. It’s a nice change from hearing about the recession, violence in the Middle East, unemployment and other dismal subjects. I do read news from other credible sources so what’s so bad with reading The Sun? It’s like the last feature on the 6 o clock news, not really relevant but gives you a laugh anyway.

[QUOTE=cheesedelux;34785982]But how completely terrible it is is part of the appeal.[/QUOTE] Oh, you read it ironically?
[QUOTE=jaykray;34785990]Oh, you read it ironically?[/QUOTE] It falls somewhere between "Why people read 'gossip' magazines" and "Why people read Twilight". (Unless of course said people are doing either totally seriously).
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;34785989]You can buy the indefinitely better i for 20p[/QUOTE] i kind of owns
I've never seen i being sold anywhere
[QUOTE=sam.clarke;34785247]Or catch up with the sport? Sorry for having interests.[/QUOTE] '[I]I swear I read News of the World for a legitimate reason!!![/I] But seriously this isn't the 20th century why would you buy a newspaper that is utter shit at the very least consume your shit in the privacy of your home online

I'll even occasionally buy the Daily Mail as I think it's quite funny to read.
I will only get it if you get free food or free drinks from WHS.

It's not being forced upon you so why do you keep complaining?

Come down off your broadsheet reading high horse.
[QUOTE=smurfy;34785429]Pretty much just the Guardian We have BBC News too though[/QUOTE] I literally had to cook myself a meal so that I could read this and choke.
the only paper I pick up in the morning is that new 'i' paper, its more informative rather than opinionated.

[/QUOTE] you can read what you like when a majority of a people stop posting stupid shit
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;34785482]The telegraph is just a posh Dailymail. I usually just buy the times myself since the guardian is now £1.20 and I can never find a copy of the independant that isn't that battered and ripped copy that is always the last one on the shelf.[/QUOTE] Try and buy the i if you can find it, great newspaper.
[QUOTE=jaykray;34784909]Page 3 of the sun is a topless model[/QUOTE] What the fuck, that would never in a million years be allowed in an american newspaper
[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy16;34792507]What the fuck, that would never in a million years be allowed in an american newspaper[/QUOTE] it's not what it sounds like [img]http://blogimages.project76.tv/blog/old/cameron080806.jpg[/img] what a babe
[QUOTE=Jsm;34792458]Try and buy the i if you can find it, great newspaper.[/QUOTE] I usually buy it if I have nothing but a 20p in my pocket, but the times tends to offer more stories and manages to not to be politically warped at the same time (it's political alignment is moderate). I'll never buy the sunday times again though, horrible conservative bias, almost as bad as the telegraph, but not quite as bad as the dailymail fortunatly.
who the fuck reads newspapers anyway
[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;34790518]I literally had to cook myself a meal so that I could read this and choke.[/QUOTE] Coming from you, that's a glowing endorsement.
why the hell do you even read the newspaper any more?
[QUOTE=Contag;34792246] you can read what you like when a majority of a people stop posting stupid shit[/QUOTE] when it comes to things like this you can't really define something stupid, its a opinion. Tabloids are tabloids, we know which ones are bad and the less bad. Most people buy the populist papers for sports and lottery readings rather than actual fact and information. what you ask though is never going to be achieved, people like to be told the worst even if it is a lie.
[QUOTE=Contag;34792246]Because I care about waning intelligence [/QUOTE] Because what paper you read has a direct correlation with your intelligence.
[QUOTE=jaykray;34784858]My parents called it as soon as it was announced that the News of the World was going to be cancelled.[/QUOTE] outstanding prediction! genius! what happened to the other sunday sun that was nowt to do with news international?
