Putting The Sun on the top shelf because of inner boobies? Who do I vote for now?

I usually get to feel nice and smug about supporting a political party who aren't idiots. What's up with this though?

Oh no wait a minute....I don't buy the Sun
1/4 of the magazines or papers probably have ads or stories which include that. Newsagents would have to double in size to make space for a longer top shelf.... And kids would still just look at it on the internet anyway. Doh
Better place for it

...it shouldn't be on sale at all!
I read that description as a skanky incinerator. It made sense though.
Quote:
A plan by former MP Evan Harris aims to tackle the projection of women as sex objects to children and adolescents by restricting sexualised images in newspapers and general circulation magazines to the same rules that apply to pre-watershed broadcast media.
It was a motion passed by delegates at a conference. There must be hundreds of motions at conference that never see the light of day.
for what it's worth, lesbians might like page 3 too.
How many lesbians have you met, or even spoken to?
Most lesbians aren't into titillation, they get sexually turned on by actions and interaction, males are turned on by physical attributes.
The Sun has some decent journalists who make good point, but to me they are overshadowed by Page 3, which turns The Sun into a 'fun read' for men.
It does? Examples? Don't say J. Clarkson!
That's a generalisation.
I won't. Tom Newton Dunn.
No, the previous generalisation was out-dated and factually untrue and why I needed to correct it.
Lesbians and women in general are not into image when taking on a partner.
Don't know him. But Trevor Kavanagh and Clarkson are enough to drop the journalistic standard below GCSE level.
However, debating such a trivial subject let alone proposing legislation to enforce it, is pretty rich considering the much more serious problems the country is currently facing, and the notion of state-mandated censorship of this sort of thing (which is what it is), is completely contrary to notions of freedom of expression.
Shopkeepers should be keeping inappropriate material away from children out of basic social decency, that way we all get to enjoy freedom without the state feeling compelled to encroach upon it.
You like to pick up on certain words and make an issue of the word, rather than take on the whole sentence. You're nothing new.
You asked. I gave you an example. Why are you now trying to score points with:
"But but but.."
Seriously read what was said. I say that lesbians *might* like page 3. The implication was not that *all* lesbians might like it, but that *some* might. You seem to have assumed I meant the latter. If there is ambiguity in something I say, please assume i intended it to be interpreted as the rational option.
Do you dispute that you made a generalisation? I agree that it is a stereotype that lesbians don't care about image, and there may be truth to it. It is also generally true that guys care more about what ladies look like. However, there are exceptions to these rules.
I'm sorry if I'm stating the obvious.
