MrPin Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I used to work with a French bloke, who was not only amazed at the British recipe,of fried bread, but the fact we had teenage knockers, on the page 3 of some newspapers! And they were allowed at 16 years old, at the time! I have never seen this in any other part of the World! Now that ancient Rupert Murdoch, has decided to stop this peculiarly British folly, was there any harm in it? At the time I thought it a rather silly British thing like smutty seaside postcards and Carry On films! I can't congratulate any that this is now stopped! I'm very mixed about it! It's possibly an infringement of freedom, and self censorship is the worst of all! Obviously you can still find "real porn"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hovis Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It's a bit tacky and had had its day. I haven't actually seen it for years as the handful of times I have bought The Sun in the last couple of decades it's been the Saturday one to read on the way to football and that doesn't have the Page 3 that there is in the week. Tbh I thought it had already ceased. I'm glad the many feminist campaigns didn't stop it because it's no more harmful IMO than Carry On films, rather that the paper itself decided to, um, draw a veil.

200p Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It needs to be modernised for the 21st Century. Perhaps the model could create a small video saying hello, and that could be on the official The Sun Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/thesunnewspaper/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they make the right/wrong decision, it will be reflected in the sales figures. I'm sure it is something they have thought carefully about. Maybe the one thing people don't think about is that the Sun, IMO, is a much better paper than the Star and the Sport. The Sport is just nonsense and the quality of journalism and stories in the Star is just truly awful. The Sun at least has some serious news stories in it and political opinion, even if it is rather basic and simplistic. So now there will be no option for someone who wants page 3 plus basic news stories. They will have to buy two papers, maybe the star and the new sun/mirror.

Scunnered Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm glad the many feminist campaigns didn't stop it because it's no more harmful IMO than Carry On films, rather that the paper itself decided to, um, draw a veil. I couldn't help feeling that the recent campaigns to get rid of it seemed a bit like locking the stable door after the horse had bolted. I'm told the internet provides you with all kinds of stuff these days at the click of a button, all light years beyond page 3 nudity. Maybe indeed 30 years ago, page 3 encouraged young men to look on women as commodities or something, but we're way past that now. No need to open a newspaper, just get your girlfriend to send you some self-made porn for you to share with your schoolfriends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Tulip Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think it is funny though how the anti Page 3 lot have been appearing on the media today saying that the battle is not over - couldn't help thinking that they are miffed as they no longer have Page 3 to be angry at. Apparently they are now moving on top stopping photos of women in bikinis or underwear appearing in papers and magazines.... so that won't just be the tabloids then but also the broadsheets? Is it Page3 they hated or just the tabloids? They are sounding more and more like ISIS with all their censorship demands aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I doubt that the Sun gives m..n.keys toss about the views of some left wing feminist harridan. It's all about sales. If sales dip, the nudes will be back. AND Just why do so many women want to get their tits out for page three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until a couple of years ago you could pick up a 16 year old prostitude in Lausanne or Geneva and it was all entirely legal. As for France, you can buy hardcore in the local newsagent and they even show porn on terrestrial TV so I guess page 3. seems a bit tame. BILD also used to have a page 3 girl, stopped in 2012.
