Silliest of the Daily Mail.

Run_to_da_hills

Every so often the Daily Mail comes out with something ridiculous.

This must be their worst.

(Mods maybe move to News & Media)

Remember kids The Daily Mail was the paper to publish that photo of the loch ness monster years ago (i know it was April 21st but not the year)

It was a complete hoax thought up after the Daily Mail ridiculed some guys step father making him a laughing stock. The son in law then decided revenge was in order and decided to make the Mail look foolish so himself with 2 or 3 other men took the photo (of a submarine with an attachment) and sent it in.

Daily Mail fell hook line and sinker, Quality reporting from a quality paper

That's not the lowest nor the lowest of the low.

They had a similar one a while back about houses.

Why is it the worst? I just see something trying to be fun that ended up being silly.

The King of Moo

The website at least, has a strange obsession with now fifteen-year old actress Chloe Moretz and her sometimes risqué, grown up outfits.

"Look at what she's wearing, isn't she a bit young to wear that!? Here's lots of other pictures, look, and look at this angle, you can almost see her..."

It's more than a bit creepy and hypocritical.

I'm curious about the demographic that would buy this, people who work on building sites?
taxi drivers? bus drivers? People on council estates? with a herd mentality and no imagination, people with no sense of individuality?

It's the English middle classes version of the Sun newspaper.

I think most of the readers are UKIP supporters and thin people with no cellulite.

Where To

I personally think The Daily Mail is one of the world's best papers.

Every single media outlet in the world is biased, but with The Mail you can see the bias without even looking, and take the article at face value.

thats interesting now I'd have never thought that, I guess I shouldn't generalise when guessing about the demographic.

People with no actual, tangible problems who are nonetheless enamoured by the notion they're under threat from every social demographic outside their own.

I deleted the Daily Mail from my bookmarks and replaced it with the Evening Herald, but one of their top stories today was about some pisshead grabbing Pat Spillane's daughters tit in some pub. Our own media is just as crap.

Would that be daily?

The Daily Mail is hardly the silliest, not the trashiest by a long shot . . .

For silliest paper try the Sun, or the Star, the Sunday World, Sunday Sport maybe?

That was probably the most factually accurate story the Daily Mail has ever carried.

Do you ever start a thread without quoting Rag of the Day?

Deus Ex Machina

If you have such a big problem with the Daily Mail maybe you should stop reading it, or at the very least stop printing out the articles and covering yourself with them while you rip the nutsack off yourself.

Fizzlesque

Some of them really do look like the creature they've been matched with though - Margaret Beckett and Boris in particular.
