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.
