Page 22 of today's Sun 'newspaper'... a small article which caught my attention.

Millions of viewers last night saw TV super-b!tch Tanya sending her weak-hearted hubby Frank to heaven smiling after a deadly romp in Footballer's Wives.

Although the hit show is pure fiction, it's not unknown for a lover to die "on the job".

If you lost a partner in the throes of passion, we want to hear from you. We are offering £500 for any story we publish.


It then goes on to provide contact details.

Now is it just me, or is that a new low, even for this rag?

Would you consider selling such a story, if you had one? I'm sure most would find it too personal and private.

our society is becoming devoid of real culture.

what we need is another world war to remind us what is important.

If you feck someone to death, is it murder or manslaughter?

It can't be 'accidental death', cos you can't feck someone by accident.

If the only thing available to read is a tabloid paper, I usually end up reading a grand total of about 2 articles.

All the rest is 'celebrity A did this' or 'celebrity B did that'.

I saw a paper that had a huge front page exposé on Beckhams spanish mansion, and at the bottom it says "Massive earthquake in India, thousands killed"

what the hell?

I agree with freedom of speech, but if those papers are a good representation of how short sighted and easily glorified the population of our country is, then I'm ashamed to be british.

I don't 'read' the Sun. I skim through it. I don't really read any paper, as they're all yesterday's news. My parents get it (dad likes the sports section) and I occasionally have a quick flick through.

The only part I really read is the TV page!
