Slab – No harm in a bit of levity occasionally?  Also it has done wonders for my traffic – you should see the number of saddos Googling for a glimpse of boob!  I couldn’t agree more about freedom of speech/responsibility.  Some editors have made a lousy judgement call here.  Personally, I couldn’t give a shite about Yer Wan’s boobs.  Once you’ve seen two, etc etc.

While some will bash on about this freedom of expression as a God given right, they stupidly forget the point that with that freedom and right comes responsibility. A responsibility to the reader, the subjects of pictures and stories and a responsibility to be fair and balanced in the reporting of News, Sports and Features.

I would liken the use of the offensive pictures to the American Internet anti Muslim movie which insulted the Islamic Prophet. Pictures which insulted The Royal family whom The British People hold dear. A movie defaming The Muslim Prophet who is held dearly by all believers.
Thankfully The Brits are’nt kicking off about it.       

“ Marianne,
I voted for him – it’s a good blog. Made me cry.
BTW, I looked at a couple of others, esp the ones at the top, and they mention that their blog is in the running and tell people how to vote for it at the top of the blog. You might want to suggest that to your friend – maybe he can get more votes?”
 

Cat – No doubt I shall have the weight of the British tabloid press on my neck, but it’s a small price to pay.

Anne – You cannot say you weren’t warned.  “mysoginist.  (spelt ok?)” Not really.  As far as I can make out everyone misspells that word as “mysoginist”.  The correct spelling is “misogynist”  An easy mistake to make.  Especially if you are a woman.
