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

otm

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!"

Actual headline in "Metro" : "Drug legalisation could crack dealers"

funnily enough i was reading the Parliamentary report this morning. you'll be surprised to learn that the Mail's interpretation of it is horseshit.

Shoot all dealers and suppliers and anyone who refuses to go into rehab - problem solved.

Just execute anyone who's breathing, because oxygen is a gateway drug.

this is actually deranged

Ha, what? That's just nuts.

He probably thought it was a bit of harmless fun.

But the timing was a little unfortunate at it appeared amid criticism of the evils of football.

be cool, dm

Nasri DARING to be of middle eastern ORIGIN whilst PHOTOGRAPHED in expensive London EATERY

shamelessly sitting there with his tap water while the world awaits UN intervention in the suarez crisis

just before the photo was taken he'd removed his hairshirt as the candles were making him unbearably hot

How helpful of the Daily Mail to tell me how I can GET THE LOOK of his female companion.

The thick fur of these East Siberian Laikas puppies keeps them warm: Oymyakon is 750 metres above sea level, which means that the length of a day varies from 3 hours in December to 21 hours in the summer

i think the outright stupidity exhibited in today's attack on hilary mantel might be one of the most offensive things yet. like wow you guys really can't read huh

With the exception of Hilary Mantel's attack on the Duchess of Cambridge.

one's a writer and the other is a parasite?

I'm not a big fan of Mantel, but there's no way the LRB piece could be construed as an "attack" on the "Duchess of Cambridge".

"The Duchess of Cambridge" ? What fucking century is this again?

sorry that was an xp to Marcello

mid to late 19th, has been since the mid to late 19th

I wonder how one of my relatives, a staunch monarchist, is going to resolve this with their Mandel fandom?

quite easily, i'd guess, seeing as though mantel's piece was a subtle and insightful analysis of royalty rather than an attack on it

if it had been an attack on middleton i'd've been first to be all "woo you go girl" but it just isn't in any way

it's still pretty insulting to her. i mean, what do you reckon she personally thinks of it?

Write what you like about her, it can never be as bad as that horrid portrait of her in the NPG

Think Mantel mentioned that too.

it's still pretty insulting to her. i mean, what do you reckon she personally thinks of it?

I don't object to her feeling insulted by it. I object to her feeling insulted being a big deal simply because she married a Prince.

No idea what her feelings on the latter are. Doesn't mean it's still not a pretty insulting way to talk about somebody. How does she know where someone else's choice or desire for choice begins and ends?

what this situation needs is for DCam to weigh in.

i cannot believe this has just happened, gaping at the idiocy on display today

still at least the BBC are keeping things in perspective by having an article about some runner who may or may not have shot his girlfriend as their lead story

genuinely can't work our whether people are being opportunistic or illiterate here

*out

btw, why is this particular thing the 'most offensive' thing yet?

I can't stand the monarchy, and the Mail will obviously be the Mail, with Cameron too just gathering attention from it. All of that said, aren't Mantel's comments still quite clumsy?

If you really want to make a point about monarchy there are probably better ways to do it than this. It is very personally worded. And if the point is about sexism then why insult an individual who is being subjected to it or subsumed by a sexist institution?
