People who care more about others lives then their own Aka Arseholes :rolleyes:

People who have a herd mentality, morons basically.

Newspaper readers are plebs,i've given up my daily broadsheet purchase due to how wrong journalists are,their lack of basic commentary and their obvious acts of plagiarism,journalism in Ireland is a joke.If you want real news the times (the british one) is what you need and even that's shít.

Shiroki,

Is Aka Arsehole a new Pokemon?

nothing like a quick read of the sun "dear deirdre" pages in the morning to reaffirm my belief in myself as a sanctimonious bástard, and a bit of jeremy kyle on tv in the afternoon to beat the three o clock slump...

mostly sagitarians, leo's and geminians

most such people can read and enjoy spending time with friends but do sometimes get a bit stressed out.

Thread title says plebs, then you ask us what kind of people. Oh Lisa, there's no such thing as subliminal advertising, that's a load of rich creamery butter.

Put in a poll like an Iraqi election and we'll all vote "plebs".

Hello Kevin,
Its clear you are a pleb and a reader of the Irish sun, the thread title says pleb, but the question asks what type of people?
Only a pleb would postulate ,the answer is a pleb.

I read The Guardian, The Observer, The Irish Times and sometimes The Sunday Times. I don't mindlessly agree with everything they say, but they are what I like best.

Herald gets delivered to the house every day so I usually have a read of it,I like John Giles articles in the football section too.

I hate the word plebs,it's what the snobby prick kids who went to the fee paying school across the road from our normal secondary school called us!

I'm conflicted. I'm from a council estate, got a grant etc but I think I'm a long lost patrician :pac:

Dumb cunts.

People like the folks in "Royle Family" and "Shameless".

Anto and Deco.

The funny thing is, nobody has posted here to say that they read it. Either nobody on this forum reads those rags, or they are too embarrassed to admit it.

Look at you all smart and what not! Only knobs who don't understand the media would slag off the red tops. A true democracy needs them. The majority of people read tabloids in Ireland, so that means the country is full of plebs. (waits for the "yes, yes it is full of plebs," answer)

A) I wasn't exactly serious with my neanderthal link.
I am smart so why shouldn't I read intelligent newspapers?
C) I do understand the media. Go read my thesis on the media in UCD library.
E) If you want to read the red tops, go ahead. Different people like different things. But red tops are just entertainment and that is fine. But they often come with worrying side effects (mass hysteria, race to the lowest common denominator etc).

Totally agree with most of your post, and yes I do read some red tops, but also broadsheets, as is my job. My comment wasn't really directed at you but a general snobbish attitude when it comes to media in this country. Some of the stuff in the tabs is ridiculous but the lines are starting to blur, as crazy frighten the public stories are appearing in broadsheets regulary. But hey without the tabs, we would have never known about Freddie Starrs appetite for hamsters

Fair enough. I agree the lines are blurring as newspapers look at the bottom line. But I guess I posted that as there can be reverse snobbery towards more intellectual newspapers.

Have to admit I'm having a good chuckle at the answers (and the questions) here. But, as one poster has said, there is a HUGE element of snobbery. And it's quite evident here.

Indeed, many of the 'snobs' would have been the ones who tripped up during the property bubble. But we'll push that conveniently to one side.;)

I remember meeting an acquaintance around 2006, and the conversation went something like this:

'Are you STILL living in XXXX'?

'Erm, yes'.

'Did you not buy a house?'

'I have one already'.

'No a buy to let'.

'Nah - don't think I'll bother'.

Cue incredulous look:eek:.

'You'll regret it - I've bought two - I'll bank the profits after five years'.

(Spins off in new SUV).

Now this chap would have been classed as fairly intelligent; a broadsheet reader; and fairly savvy.

Me? Yeah, when I was younger I would have read the Sun or whatever. But interestingly, on a Sunday I would have bought the Indo or the Press, along with possibly the NOTW or the Sunday World.

Haven't bought a paper in years. Instead use Teletext and the Internet.

It's fairly obvious from this thread that a lot of people still haven't thrown off the shackles of the Property bubble fiasco, now preferring to be seen reading a broadsheet outside Bewleys/wherever, looking down on what they term 'the plebs'....while the rest of us get on with our not-so-complicated lives.:)

Most AH'ers buy the Sunday Indo every week and read it from cover to cover looking for something to get outraged about.

Have to say, I do like the tits on page three.

Newspapers are becoming obsolete anyway.

The answer is in the question.
Or if that is too complex, read over your previous posts about being an english premier league football fanatic,and how you yearn to rent a 'cheap' self catering apartment in galway.
P_ _ _ .

mod: poster banned.

Witchie

I buy the Star on Mondays to read my team's manager (Roddy Collins) articles and also on Fridays for the League of Ireland pull out and sometimes on a Saturday to read about the Mons trashing someone.

I very occasionally will buy the Mirror for the LOI stuff too as most of the "proper papers" ignore the league or only cover the premier so I refuse to buy them until they give me something relevant to my life to read.

The rest of the paper is just fluff and will glance through it but don't rely on it for news as such. Thats what the internet and my tv licence are for.

You seem to be fairly desperate to imply reading certain types should be seen as a negative trait though.

Fair play, no one on the internet has ever done that before.

You are a true original.

Well, if you can't look down on people because you own a property empire, I suppose newspapers are the next logical thing. Mindset.:p:rolleyes:

Unless there is a marked increase in persons interfering with your personal circumstances (e.g. stealing your milk bottles from outside your door or sexually harrassing your pets etc) AND you can prove that these people read (or don't read) tabloids, then really, may I sugeest that what type of person reads what type of paper should not be at the top of your "Things To Lie Awake At Night Thinking About" list.

I lost nearly a years worth of sleep pondering what type of people insist on putting the foil back on those spreadable butters instead of ripping the whole thing off once opened and putting it in the bin.

Sunnyisland

I dont believe everything I read in newspapers or anywhere else for that matter but The majority of times I buy the Irish times ,but if I want a bit of a laugh or scandal I will buy one of the tabloids,


Ps The sun & sunday world are the biggest selling newspapers in there respective countries.
