View Full Version : The Daily Mail
Oh man, what a paper!
People in the UK will know it very well but for any1 outside that, its like UKs version of Fox News but 1000 times more stupid.
Mouthwash causes cancer (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1113422/Mouthwash-causes-oral-cancer-pulled-supermarkets-say-experts.html)
The Onion would have trouble competing with this. So if any1 needs a laugh, randomly look around its website.
Doctor Paid lots of money for saving lives and being excellent at his job (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1099313/The-NHS-consultant-paid-290-000-year-hundreds-earn-190-000.html) - the bastard :rolleyes:

Someone needs to explain the math on this one to me:
Oral cancer is diagnosed in 5,000 people in the UK every year, and around a 1,600 die. It kills half of people within five years of being diagnosed.

Not the Daily Mail, but just as bad.

^hahaha
Christ, I hate Tabloids so much, I seriously wouldn't trust a single thing they ever said.
Do newspaper delivery men still leave bundles of them outside news agents? Someone should burn them.

Someone needs to explain the math on this one to me:
It's just awkwardly written, right?
Like, it's meant to mean that 5000 people a year are diagnosed, half of which die within five years of diagnosis, but 1600 people a year actually die from it. Or something, I'm probably wrong.
^the problem is its still bollocks.
They probably did a survey and asked who used mouthwash regularly and then noted who had cancer and blamed it on that. Forgetting the booze and cigarettes they may also intake.
it does kinda wind me up away from the comedy value as a lot of the white middle class think its the only paper that tells it how it is...
This is also the paper to blame for the false MMR scare - and even with countless studies saying there is no link to autism, people still think there is. GRRRRRRRR!

is this the paper that features topless porn models and shit?
is this the paper that features topless porn models and shit?
No. Its not a (so called) red top.
At least they don't pretend to be anything but tits, ass and celebs.
You guys need to see 'The Sport', it's an abortion of a paper. It's more topless women than stories but the headlines will say 'Jennifer Aniston Topless' in 200pt text and right at the bottom in 7pt it'll say 'her fury over fake pictures'.
It's also full of stories like 'alien found in mans anus' :rolleyes:
god yeah - the daily sport. Has there ever been sport in it?
the british media is world renowned tho. there needs to be some reclassification of what is news and entertainment in UK papers.

Was is the Sport that paid that hideous Lizzie Bardsley woman to get her manky saggy baps out? Surely it must have been.

Who buys that... no, scratch that, who SELLS that crap? Who can feel proud of their business when they know that they peddle that sort of trite?

Who buys that... no, scratch that, who SELLS that crap? Who can feel proud of their business when they know that they peddle that sort of trite?It's just tits and funny stories. Nothing wrong with that, as long as it isn't your only source of news.
You people need to lighten up. Feels like a fuckin' old persons home up in here.
ps
I've never bought that shit but Pres' constant intolerance pisses me off.

You can read it all you want Pad, jsut don't consider it a "source of news", ok? In fact, I don't really think anyone should consider "tits and funny stories" as news.
Lex Diamonds

I don't get it. Was that a joke? Or was it supposed to be a diss?
Let me know so I can reply appropriately.

Nah I'm serious. You basically repeated what I said, what's the point? That's pretty dull even for you.
Pres Zount

No, see, you said that it's ok if tits and funny stories aren't your only news source, and I said that tits and funny stories aren't news.
You might be off doing more exciting things than comprehending simple sentences, but "I don't understand" doesn't actually count as a comeback.
You've tried the NERD angle, and it didn't really hurt me before, and this DULL/BORING thing isn't working here either. You're not witty. At least put a spin on it that has more depth to it than "That's dull". THAT is boring. As boring as me, even.

You're so fucking stupid it's untrue. I said The Daily Sport (which as you may have worked out by now is a newspaper) should not be your only source of news. If you weren't desperately flailing about for insults like an octopus having a seizure maybe you wouldn't have just made such a tool of yourself.

seriously - if the both of you put your not inconsiderable wordstyling talents into something more useful than insults you'd achieve a great deal. don't write for the daily mail though, awrite?

The Mail and Express are terrible papers. Their rightwinged attitudes always make me chuckle however cause their so pathetic. A few weeks ago the headline on the Mail read something along the lines of :
IS JAGUAR NEXT FOR BAIL OUT? - GOVERNMENT PLANS ON SPENDING TAX PAYERS MONEY TO HELP COMPANY OWNED BY MUSLIMS
^hehe, its actually Hinduism if you took it on what the main religion is in Mumbai

"It's ok if it isn't your only source of news"
"It shouldn't be considered a source of news at all"
I'd leave it but I don't like someone not understanding me.

Have you ever read it? It has news in it. Just not very much, and not very informatively written.
Pres Zount
01-15-2009, 07:42 AM
Why would you consider a newspaper that is poorly informed as a source of your news?
Lex Diamonds
01-15-2009, 07:46 AM
What are you talking about, "my news". Don't try and change what you're talking about now, it's too late.
Pres Zount
01-15-2009, 07:58 AM
W... what am I talking about if not the quality of tabloid news sources?
Lex Diamonds

I said from the beginning that you shouldn't rely on it for the news, but if you're a normal heterosexual guy then you might enjoy some boobs and sport every once in a while. I guess you homos just don't understand that, which is a pity.
