You know when you go into a quite field of a night with a girl or boy for a ride, get going like a Jesuit on a sabbatical and when you come to your senses you find yourselves surrounded by a herd of cattle. Thats real news.

No it's not bovine are filthy perverts, everyone knows that. If they don't know they'll be sure to find out the hard way. If you've been raped by a bull the farmers liable, I'd put a claim in straight away.

People still read the paper?

Dave! · 01-02-2008 12:56AM

I don't really read the paper any more, but my folks buy the Star, Daily Mail, Herald, etc., all the time.... when I read them I get angry cos they're (the papers) so stupid/biased/loaded/innuendoed/ill-founded/trashy.

They have good sports though, I'll give you that!

As a journo myself and someone who wishes to earn a reasonable crust, tabloids are the way to go. It's where the big money's at.

As for the person earlier who said they're written for cnuts by cnuts that's sh1te. I'm no cnut but I'd have no problem writing that sort of stuff if I was gettin a hefty sum for it. I'm sure plenty of the current writers are of the same opinion.

Tabloids: Written by ***** for *****.
Ignored (allegedly) by ***** who are failed writers and can't even get a gig writing for a tabloid with their orts degree from Trinners.

I'm convinced tabloids have a computer program that generates their stories. Insert celebrity, venue, state of undress and desired scandal.

behold!

the daily mail headline generator.
example: COULD THE FRENCH GIVE THE COUNTRYSIDE CANCER?

People are talking of the Star,the sun etc but I would defiantly classify The Irish independent and The Evening Herald as tabloids too. There full of trashy celeb stories dressed up as a supposedly credible newspaper. The photos you get daily of Irish models in them are just as bad as page three. At least with the Sun you get witty writing,the same cant be said for the Indo and Herald rags.

I read the Guardian.Quality,unbiased, humorous writing

JIZZLORD · 01-02-2008 02:21PM

i believe that the indo has gone downhill myself, but there's a whole generation of people who complain about the paper but refuse to buy anything else

That's what I've been doing with the google news, why hear about people dieing when I could be reading about how stuff works and rockets to the moon, space puppies and miniature robots.

I like the problem pages in the tabloids. They make me giggle.

I think real news might be too much for my fragile female brain.

Oh yeah. Same as. Me and my friends always discuss any problems in our frillies. And I dress as a cheap hooker while going to the shop.

I love the photo case book....

The Indos definitely gone downhill, so much celebrity/gossip/fashion, constant unibrow glenda gilson on page 3, stupid headlines. Only bit I still like is the back page for quick international news

the sunday times though, a weeks reading in one paper!

I remember when all that malarkey was going on in Lebanon, front page of the Sun was still going on about that Limerick woman who won the lottery.

LEbanon had a tiny paragraph slotted in somewhere.

I also love the problem pages, usually about "Oh no, I slept with my mothers best friends son in laws gardener who once met the ugly one in Busted"
Reply is usually along the lines of "Call my helpline"
091 568992 (calls cost enough to keep Dr Miriam in extremely fancy jewlery)

Best one ever: I masturbated for the first time, now I'm worried I'm pregnant.

Hilarious.

And who can forget the subject matter of such paper's headlines. Usually fermenting discontent against immigrants and the blacks. Someday someone should slip in a headline saying "Asylum seekers are the natural predators of paedophiles" just to see the clienteles reaction.

Commonest headline is "It's political correctness gone mad"
or "A source clost to Ms Hilton states" (the journalists brother who saw someone who looked a bit like her once)

Also hilarious is the mindset where if a black and white person apply for the same job, the black will automatically get it, even if the black was a streetsweeper and the job is neurosurgery.
