Front page: social workers say Kate Moss is not fit to be a parent
p4: We should boycott shops that sell "inappropriate" clothes for children.
p6: Melanie Phillips says our once great education system lies in ruins, and it's all "the left's" fault.
p10-11: "The great fashion week cocaine binge"
p14: leader comment says children bunking off school are all Tony Blair's fault; PLUS — it's terrible that the police won't lock up gypsies.
p17: one cigarette a day TRIPLES your risk of lung cancer (with pic of woman — possibly an irresponsible mother — smoking).
p20: Council tax bills could go up! Oh, the humanity.
p21: Those pesky gyppos again, complete with a "Guess what?" line in the subhead.
p22-23: "They're known as Moss's Posse — the group of louche stars the tarnished supermodel has lured into her amoral world..." Tells us that Jefferson Hack wanted to marry the mother of his child, "but Kate just wanted to party."
p36-37: two pages of victorian photos of kittens dressed as people.
p39: Teachers can't cope with all the pupils in Portsmouth who speak foreign.
p46-47: the "disturbing truth" about the white British women who have sex with black men in the Gambia.
p49: "Ruthless, career-minded women. An underclass of weak, emasculated men."
p54: The "dark side" of Harvey Nichols.
And so and so forth.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if they're taking the piss...

Apparently not. Harry Whittier Smith claimed to pose live kittens using "only patient, unfailing kindness."

This is idiocy, of course, but it comes from an expected source. A rather less expected source is Stephen Malkmus, who, in the current edition of Index magazine, says it's nice to be in Portland rather than New York, then adds "But the west coast has a downside too, like the number of ridiculous leftists..." He then recounts an anecdote of wanting to shove one of said leftists up against a wall. So that's what "Pig Lib" meant!

Malkmus made snidey comments about "leftists" on "Embassy Row" years back. He's probably worried they'd make him get his haircut and stop mumbling.

We of the Broke Generation have discovered penury is not only a financial privation, but also an emotional one. We are damned if we follow our hearts and inclinations, and damned if we don’t. As the money trickles away, prices rise ever higher and the loans we took out so carelessly haunt our dreams, a take-out from the local pizzeria seems our only option.

A click on the author's name reveals this gem: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2291904/The-outrageous-confessions-upper-class-Lolita.html
It is true that I was very curvaceous, and often passed for 18.(Laurence) Olivier was undaunted. ‘Come and sit on my lap,’ he instructed. Awestruck, it did not occur to me not to comply.Once I was perched on his lap, Olivier planted a wet kiss on my lips. It was not a pleasant experience, since his breath smelt like a starving coyote’s. He complimented me on my breasts, touching one of them with his hand. Then he sighed and released me, thanking me for being ‘kind to an old man’.
When I said Olivier had also kissed me, my father asked: ‘Did you enjoy it?’ Many will argue that my father should have been thrown into jail with Olivier. But when I was growing up, so many of my father’s friends made passes at me that if I had sued each one, I would still be in court to this day.
That many teenage girls are simply not to be trusted around attractive older men is a fact that appears to be all too often ignored — but it is high time we reminded ourselves of it.

such weird prose in this DM piece about anthony kiedis: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2311687/Anthony-Kiedis-passionately-kisses-girlfriend-speeding-Harley.html
Much younger woman, tick, Harley Davidson motorbike, tick.
If most men were indulging in such things at the ripe age of 50, they'd be accused of having a mid-life crisis but Anthony Kiedis is a member of a special club.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman is a rock 'n' roll male and therefore given a pass to behave like Peter Pan drunk on a bottle of Jack until he collapses on his tourbus.
Rock 'n' roll women aren't afforded the privilege of growing old in leather with insouciance, of course, though mercifully Stevie Nicks failed to get the memo.
But Kiedis, who must be on a real high after his drawling rock dirges drew an impressive crowd even in a sandstorm at the Coachella Music Festival on Sunday, is quite the rock poster, ahem, boy.
