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

"Satan's Trousery - find us just round the back of Purgatory. Our prices are wicked."

If he pulled them up any higher, he'd have to cut armholes in the sides.

Just remove the lining from the pockets and put his arms through the holes.

Yeah, that would also have the secondary benefit of stopping his car keys from chaffing his nipples.

surprised to find out that the same Patrick Moore who had his own reactionary nutjob political party in the 1970s is still a bit of a reactionary nutjob. good to see the Mail keeping on top of things.

the daily mail are obviously going for the blithely literal prose style of

Soft-Looking Monkey With Big Eyes, Small Hands

the writing is so so bad at the daily mail. like, it shouldn't have to be that bad, that inept, that clumsy.

Definitely a theme emerging.

The writing isn't great at the Mail but it's pretty clear that the journalists are being told to throw things together in ten minutes.

The only good thing you can say about the paper is that it does give a start to a lot of young, inexperienced trainee writers who might struggle to get a foot in the door anywhere else. There's going to be a lack of professionalism.

the copy for the sleb articles is just whatever stuff you can type in as little time as possible to fit the spaces between photos

it's basically vice magazine now and has been for a while

There's always going to be people who haven't seen something, so twenty year old pictures are News: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2139914/A-rare-insight-Kowloon-Walled-City.html

The Mail isn't alone in this though: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/pencil-vs-camera-incredible-images-814135 - these are six years old, if not older. (http://www.benheine.com/projects.php?dossier=72157623723956821 )

(ok ok, that Mirror one is because he's having an exhibition in London, but still)

Yeah how is Kowloon walled city news now?

That said some of the night photos I hadn't seen before

The Daily Mail has described her as "Mr Hague's formidable £70,000-a-year special adviser and long-standing chief of staff", and as "Hague's 'blue-eyed Bosnian Muslim émigré'".[2]

I think we can be sure however that you will never find him sharing a hotel bed with her

"The German slogan “Arbeit Macht Frei” is somewhat tainted by its connection with Nazi concentration camps, but its essential message, “work sets you free” still has something serious to commend it."

yes just SOMEWHAT tainted :o

jaw dropping

There is dignity to be gained from any job, no matter how menial, and for young people at the start of their careers, there are valuable lessons to be learned from any form of employment, whether that is on the factory floor, on a supermarket till or in the contemporary hard labour camp of a merchant bank or law office.

So much to unpack in this sentence too

this is just a blackhole of godwin's law trolling, right?

lol at the last para:

the usual suspects will howl racism, but i would draw your attention to the fact that all the people i am impugning in this photo are not white

Racism! Racism! Someone hear my howl!

does "Sangatte" even mean anything to anybody except a select cadre of hardcore racists in 2012?

'select cadre of hardcore racists' = daily mail readers, shurely?

well yes there's a considerable overlap

surprised that in 2012 the mail still has the power to stun me with its unalloyed racism

wasn't littlejohn using word like poofs until well into the last decade?

On Saturday, the Guardian published an article on creepshots - photographing women without their knowledge (often 'upskirt' photos) - and revenge porn. Early in Kira Cochrane's article, she wrote: 'Erin Gloria Ryan, a writer for popular women's website Jezebel.com, was alerted to the creepshots forum by concerned Reddit users who are trying to get it closed, partly because some of the pictures appear to have been taken in schools.' A day later, MailOnline's Michael Zennie wrote an article about Reddit and creepshots. Someone at MailOnline then decided to illustrate the article with FOUR of the creepshot photos the article is complaining about.

can't believe the mail would publish photos without their subjects' consent

tho yes......that is awesomely prurient, even from the doyen of hypocritical prurience

This is pretty bad even for the Mail, no? "Disgusting website publishes upskirt photos of underage girls and HERE THEY ARE!"
