The sun's page 3

Postby Trina » Fri Jan 23, 2015 10:37 pm

I've not had time to post much lately, just read. Im surprised no one has said anything though.


Campaigners across the UK were dealt a blow by The Sun’s provocative Page 3 today, which featured a topless woman winking under the headline "clarifications and corrections".

It had been widely believed the hotly contested segment had finally come to an end after 44 years in the newspaper's print edition.

But under the text "Clarifications and Corrections", Thursday's edition of the paper states: "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.
“We would like to apologise on behalf of the print and broadcast journalists who have spent the last two days talking and writing about us.”

The Sun previewed the image with the text "we've had a mammary lapse" next to "see Page 3" on its front page.

Thoughts?

I can't help but grin at how they brought it back.

To be honest, my opinion is if you don't want to see it, don't buy the paper. Or skip page 3! It's not like you open the paper and are shocked to see boobs out on that page.

The paper has had page 3 since the 70's? So why all the moaning now?

And isn't there another paper that has boobs on most pages? Daily sport I think it is.

was gonna post this the other day but decided against it. saw some debates on the news and the supposed 'feminist' woman had absolutely 0 comeback for how it's actually denying women's freedom of expression lol.

absolute big deal made out of nothing imo - pair of tits on a page of a newspaper isn't a big deal, are they planning to tackle all porn as well for objectifying both men and women? all photoshoots must be covered up and the same woman's argument was that David Beckham's naked chest on page 7 is completely different because he's a bloke. Far as I'm aware we all have 2 nipples each right?

Glad they didn't cave in after all, there's no need to change it and they should stick to their guns.

I'm just upset that S&W isn't here to offer his opinion on this matter. :(

It's a pornography page, they were reading pornography!

Don't like the sun and don't buy it. Don't approve of the page 3 porn but if they want to do that, then let them expose themselves nationwide. I find it more amusing that the feminists are complaining about the same things that conservatives (small c) were doing in the 80s and 90s.

I don't know what feminists want in this matter. It's the womens choice to get their tits out ffs. They stop doing that then they lose their jobs

Done in a provocative way to arouse male readership I presume. I don't read that sort of thing.

I was going to edit my post, I need sleep so I'll post it now.

You are right, it comes under porn. But then that would mean no blokes should ever be topless, I don't see any campaign for that to be stopped.

It would also mean naked/topless beaches should be banned.

Much bigger picture than one page in a paper.

The 'girls' who do it choose to and are well paid. Where's the harm?
