Why I love the Daily Mail, as distilled into one story.

*room turns ice cold*

I have had the misfortune to do some research for Quentin Letts wife, one of the rudest and most unpleasant women I have ever dealt with, if she's an example of the fragrant 1950's womanhood he's expousing give me Germaine Greer any day.

Well give her a break, she is married to an ugly misogynist snob after all

never give a sucker an even break

When the RMS Titanic sank in 1912, a large proportion of the female passengers survived, but 80 per cent of the men on board went down with the ship, doomed by chivalry. They had observed the code of 'women and children first' to the lifeboats.

Would that happen today?

Not only that, but to-day the third class passengers would probably demand a palce on the lifeboats as well! Outrageous!

This man is deranged. He's written a book called "People who buggered up Britain" (or something) in which he lays into various people and then complains about swearing and rudeness. Stupid fucking prick.

The 50 People Who Wrecked Britain. We did a poll...

Would not be surprised at arriving at a time when Ryanair emergency-lands, tries to enact oxygen mask/yellow slide surcharge.

I see - I presume it's the same as this?

So his own books are getting dumbed down?

Date-rape drugs are largely an urban myth used as an excuse by women who booze themselves into a stupor, it has been claimed.

Unfortunately he couldn't find a publisher for the sequel, "The 50 People Who Bought The 50 People Who Buggered-Up Britain".

i devoted a lot of facebook wallspace to things gleaned from this thread, so my ghostly presence was around

There are occasions when you have to legitimately, unironically love the DM, and the caption for the top photo in this article is one of them.

However best rated comment reminds me why I should never never read the comments.

This is a form of child abuse as her other young children can't all be receiving dedicated care from her.

She should be sterilized immediately.

If she had the money to support her large brood then she could have as many babies as she wants to but whilst everyone else is paying for them she should be stopped NOW.

i love the way they got 3 children in and were like 'fuck it let's scar the bastards'

I think poor little Rogue got the worst deal.

I met someone who was seriously considering 'Rogan' as a first name for their son, middle name 'Josh'.

Think they settled on Sam Osa or something instead though.

Dan Sak.

Dopey Aza

Jill Frezi

Chik En Tik Aaaaaaaaaaaaah Me Sailor

More like Jacob Screek

I think there's an ancient British bylaw that states if you name your kid Voorhees you are henceforth allowed to do whatever the fuck you like

By all accounts he's a jolly good fellow.

And Keyser Söze all of us

There's going to be some pretty cheerful people working in metal labels' press depts today

poor Gaahl

they all sound great, but none of them actually feature murder so wtf daily mail?

um, "Strangled" ?

TOENAIL PULLING

Also available to any child - the Bible, Shakespeare, Dickens...

I can't believe they've mentioned the Bulgar/Child's Play 3 "link". It was bad enough making that crap up back then but to reference your own made-up crap about it is really...er..crap.

there has not been any toenail pulling in shakespeare

I bet someone in Titus Andronicus wanted to pull someone's toenail off though.

poor Gaahl

'Out, out vile toejam'

Last week, they were cleared of insulting a Muslim guest when high-profile ‘hate crime’ allegations were thrown out by a judge to public applause. But, faced with £400,000 of debt and the wreckage of a business they say has been all but destroyed by the controversy, there has been little celebration for Ben and Sharon – just bewilderment at the way they have been treated.

The experience has left them questioning their faith in the police, in the Crown Prosecution Service and in a British establishment that seems bent on protecting all manner of rights and sensitivities. Unless, that is, you are a church-going Christian.

It has done little to improve their confidence in the way their case was handled to learn that Detective Constable Tracy O’Hara, the officer who played a leading role in the prosecution for the unusual crime of religiously aggravated harassment and took charge of their interrogation, is a leading light in the Merseyside Police Gay And Lesbian Support Network.

homosexuals and muslims are well known to be in cahoots

Yeah, look at that 'mohammed guy
