Is the MailOnline really full of pictures of scantily-clad starlets?

There's an interesting article in today's mediaguardian about the MailOnline. Apparently it is the second largest English language newspaper website, which surprised me. However, what caught my eye was the following intriguing sentence:

MailOnline is littered with pictures of scantily-clad starlets, many of which would never be published in the paper.

Really? Can any regular user of the site confirm this? Links welcome. :)

    The odd bikini paparazzi photos of celebs is as far as it goes I think.

    The Mail Online is regularly outraged at things involving youngsters and wants to protect them from all the evil in the UK today.

    Then at the side of the page, there's articles on Miley Cyrus showing her bra, Suri Cruise being staked by the Mail every day and the ubiquitous picture of Britney with her nipples poking through her top.

    Not all starlets, some are well known actresses. I don't agree with all the content but find the online version interesting. Better than the print version & without the ads.

    They pretend to be 'outraged' but I think it's genuinely published for a bit of titillation I think.. they love it!

    Oh yes, there are hordes of middle class, middle aged men, beating themselves blind to those pictures!

    here is a classic example

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1329685/Tinsley-Mortimer-bikini-beauty-Miami.html

    you dont know her, no one does, but they bought the pics because she is fit and so is her bf

    that is their secret to success and it works:eek:

    I initially misread that as "scantily-clad terrorists":o. Don't ask how.

    Are you too scared to click in case they backtrace you?

    Consequences will never be the same.

    <Blushes> I did click couldn't see anything of immediate interest. Obviously you need a guide to find the more salacious pictures. Any useful links?
