To be just a bit annoyed about the Sun again ?

I'm confused the OP complains about the rag and the article, rightly so IMHO then tells the person who replied to calm down it's just a joke. Isn't that contradicting yourself???

When some of us try and take seriously the open sewer that is the Sun ( available free through your very own letter box and on the racks in M&S, Waitrose et al al for you to see), there are others that think it's of no import and we shouldn't be so serious about it. This example today tells us everything we need to know and then some. That poor child... Exploited by his parents and one of the wealthiest, most powerful people in the media who is feted and feared by politicians of all parties ( no actually the lib dems are pretty clean on this issue). What's not to like?

I am concerned that this child will grow up being pointed out as different " he has the mark of the devil". What were his parents thinking, making a spectacle of him, they should have just made sure it wasn't causing him any pain and then ignored it. As was mentioned in the article, it is probably a hairdryer burn or as Galen said something metal that got hot in the sun.

I don't want to stop us all having a laugh at this entertaining article. There are indeed no depths and yes, I did read the extracts from Nick Davies' book. The image it paints of lifestyles and journalistic behaviour on Murdoch's watch were shocking, if unsurprising. Total lack of responsibility to anything other than increasing circulation

This is a story that raises concern about a child - what's funny about it.

More likely something metal that got hot in 'the sun' and slightly burnt him.

Heated, moi? At the exploitation of a kid by 1) his mother, presumably The Sun made it worth her while and 2) by an ignorant, circulation-seeking at any cost rag? Never!

Oh and the answer to your question TF - there are NO depths to which this rag cannot sink. But hey ho, just a joke , doesn't matter.....

Oh come on TF- where's your sense of humour, it's just a joke, don't get so heated about it, calm down, watch your blood pressure, don't let's have an argument, let's have a balanced debate - right, that should have saved some of you some time today.

Just a bit annoyed ? How much lower into the gutter can the gutter press sink?
