Why I hate the Daily Mail, as distilled into one edition

It's the EU that's regulated a thinner page. I say let the best paper win, no matter how thick it is.

How about the thickness of it's readers?

You'd think but no! Once again we see it's one rule for newspapers and another rule for racist creeps like me. GET A GRIP GORDON.

No, we love Crunchie BECAUSE it is Crunchy.

Meanwhile over in the Mail - gobsmacking hypocrisy...
Damning verdict on MMR doctor: Anger as GMC attacks 'callous disregard' for sick children.

Briefly considered finding all the Mail's pro-Wakefield articles and posting them in comments thread, but sanity prevailed.

Outraged: Seller Dave Davidson was told his board game breached eBay's offensive material policy because it had a Swastika on the cover

I don't understand this story at all. Ebay sell tons of nazi relates stuff, why would they pick on this game?

We revealed the last time a gang of Germans took on the world wearing a black uniform was under Hitler.

Ebay sell tons of nazi relates stuff, why would they pick on this game?

I think it's nothing more complicated than it being monitored by actual living and breathing people, and sometimes people are dumb as a box of hair

If you search ebay for 'swastika', you get loads of results (mostly stamps and coins though). What I wanna know is how did they detect the swastika on this one item? Cos presumably it wasn't listed as Nazi memorabilia.

I rather hoped that Jenny Thomas (the ebay person mentioned might explain something on her twitter a/c.

their URLs rule. I've not clicked on the link or read the article, I don't need to.

Even by Liz Jones' standards, this is a cracking example of wrongheadedness. I don't even know what it is we've done to Emma Watson (made her successful? rich? popular?), but...oh God, why on EARTH is this woman making money from writing?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1249017/LIZ-JONES-Honour-killings-What-weve-young-Emma-just-shameful.html

"But let’s look at Emma Watson for a moment. Is it a coincidence that she is the highest-paid actress in the world – and also incredibly young, known only for her portrayal of a virginal schoolgirl?

You might have thought Meryl Streep would have been up there on that list somewhere. Or Helen Mirren, or the director Kathyrn Bigelow. But no. The richest (and I hesitate to use the word powerful here) woman in Hollywood is also necessarily the weakest: a child."

Gotta admit I'm pretty surprised the director Kathyrn Bigelow isn't one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood.

The richest (and I hesitate to use the word powerful here) woman in Hollywood is also necessarily the weakest

How does she know? Emma might be pretty handy.

Yeah, and she's not, um, a child.

Cue the 'hot, ready and legal' thread in ...

The most powerful men are inevitably all ancient and unglamorous with old-lady arms: James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and their ilk. Like Islam, Hollywood is a clannish, backwards-thinking, oppressive, patriarchal society intent on keeping women firmly in their place.

Old-lady arms?

Is it a coincidence that she is the highest-paid actress in the world – and also incredibly young, known only for her portrayal of a virginal schoolgirl?

Yes. Oh crap , whole tenuous idea for article goes down plughole, never mind keep going to the end, can I throw something in about Obama...

The "old lady arms" line makes me picture a naked Mr Burns

This piece is just amazing. "We may not have pushed Emma Watson into a shallow grave and shovelled dirt into her mouth until she stopped struggling but we have enjoyed seeing her in a popular movie franchise based on books for children, and isn't that, in a sense, JUST AS SHAMEFUL?"

The use of 'virginal' is the key:

People can become famous, but if they were virgins when that happened, they must STAY that way or risk the DM disapproval.

cf: Charlotte Church, Britters, etc..

Let’s make it a war between genders

That conclusion. This is definitely the worst article I have ever seen.

Yeah, focusing on "virginal" was a bit weird, I'm not sure it would be the first word I'd use to describe Hermione. Not that it's not true, but she does have a strong character and personality and I've never noticed any emphasis on her virginal purity or anything like that. But it probably wouldn't fit the article quite so much if the highest paid female role in Hollywood was a girl who works hard and easily outsmarts all the boys in her class.
