Can we please, please boycott The Sun for this?

I just saw an ad on TV stating that The Sun will be giving away t-shirts with a large green hand imprint in the centre and the catchphrase "anyone but the French" on it.

Seriously, this has now become mortifying to the extent that action must be taken. I therefore propose a forum wide boycott. No referencing, no quoting, no linking and DEFINITELY no purchasing of The Sun.

All in favour say "AYE".

I can't boycott it any more than I already do

fillmore jive

Boycott the Sun anyway. Useless rag.

MagicMarker

Yes, let's all boycott it by talking about it. GO TEAM!

jaykay74

tbh I'm all in favour of it. easier to identify the muppets and keep well clear.

eagle eye

I say YAY!

Like many others, I do not hurt my eyes and insult my intelligence by buying or reading that crap.

Big ass pics makes forum wide and eyes hurt... Boo. I say we boycott Eagle Eye.

Sorry guys didn't think my pic would cause all those problems. I deleted it, only a picture of a blazing sun.

I appreciated the bandwidth draining wit at any rate

Should have no trouble with the amount of Liverpool fans on here anyway.

I've nothing but respect for the Heads of The Sun for this idea. There are soooo many idiots out there that would love that shirt and they probably sold way above their daily average because of this. Genius. Saying that I never read the paper apart from the obv glance at page 3 but this idea would be right down the alley of those who do subscribe to the Sun regularly:cool:

SantryRed

I like the boobs on it though.

Jazzy

shouldnt be reading the sun or the news of the world anyway.


there is literally no reason in the world to be on their website or buying those papers

citytillidie

I don't even know why people in Ireland buy it. Dirty rag

MuPpItJoCkEy

I think this hand thing regarding the French has gone on long enough now and it is getting well embarrassing.

I will never ever boycott reading The Sun, i enjoy reading it, the tits on Page 3 are cool and they are accurate wit there news

Where do I start? ..... pointless I expect.
To be honest, I wouldn't wipe my hole with it.

For most sane people, the Sun's very existence already provides ample justification for a boycott.

Aren't you a Liverpool fan?

Shh!

Only the News of the World and Sun are bad. If you extend the boycott to all Murdoch media, you have to give up Sky too.

I quite hope the French get knocked out personally.

I don't wear clothes to that effect though. Might get a loan of a South Africa Jersey or something when the game is on.

Could you pm me that pic please? Been looking for a decent shot of a blazing sun for a while now.

wobblyknees

There are so many reasons why you shouldn't buy the S*n. Honestly, does anyone really have any interest in this kind of garbage??

Toilet paper ftw imo.

Paparazzo

This is a paper regularly that calls french people "frogs" and scientists "boffins". Anyone who buys it is an idiot.

I'd be asking that if I only had a newspaper to wipe me arse, tbh.

I legit remember reading the Sun when I was nine and wondering why it was written like if was for children. Apart from all the other stuff, surely no self respecting adult of reasonable inteligence would lower themselves that much?:eek:

Panthro

If i was sitting in a waiting room for hours, and there was no other thing to read other than the Sun, i still wouldnt read it.

Nearly everything as far as i know, been 1 or 2 occasions where they have been wrong and been sued, but apart from that they've been spot on in what they've reported

I checked it's actually 3m in England less then a million for all the broadsheets.

The Sun will remain popular as it covers everything most average people want. News and Sport without to much in depth analysis, celebrity gossip and sensational stories that are eye catching. Plus a certain page in it that is aimed towards the male population

tbh

"The Tyrants In his Pants" - I just got that.

Father Damo

Oh who gives a sh1t. Im no big fan of the Sun (though I would regard it as slightly more truthworthy than rags like the Sunday Indo) but who cares. Is it bandwagoning? Yes. Is it cheesey? Certainly. Should we forgive and forget? My bollocks we should.

Isn't the S*n for dumb idiots who can't read big words?

It uses the most bizarrely awful puns and abbreviations I sometimes wonder does anyone understand it. The drooling goons who purportedly purchase it surely wouldn't have the intellectual capacity to work out what all those half-words and twisted usages are suposed to mean. It's nigh on imposible for a non-native to understand any of the gibberish they print (or why they would want to print it).

I'm not sure it's not a brilliantly executed piece of marketing journalism aimed at the 'ironic' highbrow. Otherwise it would be just page 3 all the way through.

I'd never buy the rag anyway but this t-shirt thing is an utter embarrassment.
