Why is Ryan Tubirdy on the front page of every paper today

Right so. The Fido Dido lookalike has split with his chick. So what?? Why has almost every paper today, decided to run this on there front page. Surly there must be something more news worthy to run.

dlofnep · 05-02-2006 08:32PM

Yeah, felt that was a bit front page unworthy meself.

So are any other "celebrity" stories, but they appear week in, week out. Why is it only when one about a person you don't like that you complain?

Anyway, by and large newspapers are gone to ****.

Not complaining. Just agreed with the original post. I've a right to my opinion. I think there are alot more important things happening in the world right now than Ryan's love life. Nothing against the chap.

It was front page of nearly all the tabloids and thrashy papers (SIndo included I may add).
What do you expect?
Geopolitical analysis on the crisis in the Middle East splashed on the Sunday World?

Pretty sure the Sunday Business Post didnt have the story...

dlofnep · 05-02-2006 08:42PM

Sure, it's tabloid material.. But does anyone really care? I know I looked at it and said "So..? Why do we care?". Tabloids have been known every known and again for printing world events.

I'am no great fan of Tub's. But it really gets on my wick that papers run these type of Bull**** stories. I cant belive almost every paper [with I think the execption of my beloved SBP and the Tribune] de3cided that this was worthy of there front page. It's a none story. If he had say killed his wife and eaten her before presrnting Tubidy Tonight. Then by all means run the story. It just pisses me off the dumbing down of our society. I dont even wanna get started on what I think about Sky News or TV3 allegead news service.

Why are people even remotly intrested in this Sh1te. It really boils my blood

Do what I have done then. Get all your news online. Its up to date, you get what you want, and you can ignore the useless chaff.

Well he is quite dreamy. I wouldn't mind sewing a leather elbow-patch onto one of his tweed jackets. I'd say he goes thru them at a fair rate.

dbnavan · 05-02-2006 09:02PM

I dont think anyone's marital problems should ever be newspaper material, it is a very stressful time for everyone involved. The media should report meaningful news. TBH who really cares, the chap does his job, this wont effect me or anyone else, so whats the point?

I'd say he goes through a fair amount aswell, sticking his bony elbows through them!

Also, on the topic of newspapers.

What’s the deal with publishing the Daily Mail over here. Its the worst most biased **** rag of a news paper going. Have you seen the ad for it on tv?

"....likes it (the paper) for our family values".

The most sensationalist tabloid going is marketing itself as family orientated, perhaps they should try reporting the news in an unbiased and factual way instead of marketing themselves as a pillar of morality holding back the tide of violent video games and immigrants ready to overthrow our right wing Christian wonderland at the drop of a hat.

Thanks Daily Mail, I'd leave the house to buy a copy but I’m afraid of being stabbed by some teen all doped up on Doom 2.

Each to their own. Sensationalism sells. I don't like but but meh, I just won't buy it.

SoupyNorman · 06-02-2006 01:58AM

I'd say he is having an affair with Derek Mooney!

Tubberty is a KnuckleHead-McSpasatron in the most extreme.

I remember reading that story. It made me so angry that I felt like going out and stabbing someone. Why don't they run a story on that??

When I looked at the papers on sunday I had a good laugh seeing RT on it. How sad is that. Its not like it was a slow news day(week), why didn't they run the Mohammed cartoon like a decent tabloid?!:eek:

Has anyone noticed on their TV/Radio ads the word News isn't said once?
