Do you read the daily mail online?

    I find it to be a very homophobic and Islamophobic newspaper and yet I cant stop bringing myself to read the daily mail.

    I'm always finding myself clicking on that site curious what they are moaning about and the comments never fail to shock me.

    Do anyone find the DM quite a addictive reading or is it just me?


    Do I need help:(

    Why bother read it online? All the articles end up in AH anyway.

    Sometimes while I am online, but never while I am online, that is all.

    So do I :( I definately need help

    I can't get through a day without reading about what Kim Kardashian is up to, why my having a job means my husband won't love me anymore or why women/muslims/people on welfare are the cause of all the evils in the world

    If reading means looking at the latest pictures of Kelly Brook's cleavage, then yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭michellie


    What a coincidence my phone just notified me that it had updated my daily mail app the exact instant I looked at this thread title.


    So yes, yes I do read it.I find most of the articles difficult to read though. It's like they get 5 year olds to write most of them !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,915 ✭✭✭cursai


    You'd need to be snorting a line to be reading that pi$$

    The sidebar of shame is why its the worlds most "read" newspaper site.
    The Muslims, cancer, single mums, Europe and Beckham etc is merely padding.

    But your post suggests you do read it, now I am intrigued.

    theyre a disablist paper as well,they have long portrayed us as chavvy frauding benefit scroungers,some of their views as well as reader views on disability related topics are so fkin stupid that they are a laugh to read.
    at the same time theyre an irritant because they push this crap out to bigots of the country who treat it like gospel,theyre easily swayed by anything which validates their biases.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 284 ✭✭HTML5!


    Ah yeah. Sometimes. It's the reading equivalent to watching rubbish on TV like take me out.

    What's annoying are people who get on their high horse about this kind of stuff.

    Does the government produce this paper, that is all.

    Never! If I see a link to its website on a thread here in AH, I don´t click it. Absolute fcuking scum of the earth.:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I love it. As a 'middle aged' woman though I am in its target demographic. Don't know what excuse the rest of you have. I used to spend a fortune on trashy mags, now I read the Daily Mail for free!

    PS: I do not read the Kim Kardashian articles, in my own defence.

    Never been on there apart from a link in AH every now and again.
    They're **** at trolling to be honest.

    yep lm addicated to it too! check it 5/6 times a day :o

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    They have some nice Carol Vorderman pictures. I don't read the articles.

    This is why society does not grow, everything has to start somewhere, (check how long it took life to grab a hold on earth) given time I do believe this guy might regret his little antidote, that is all.

    What are you on about?

    I don't know why I read it, it's addictive like the OP says, reading the comments especially. I don't bother with the 'sidebar of shame' though.

    They must make titles for some stories to wind up the most people possible, stuff like 'WOMAN driver crashes car' or 'IMMIGRANT benefit cheat caught'.



    They really, really have the the hate for Jack Whitehall insulting the 'poor queen' but even the usual outrage loving comments can't see what thier problem is.
