I would definitely support it!

Anyway, in my opinion the Sun is not a newspaper, it's a comic. Sometimes I see the front page headlines whilst in our village shop, it often seems to be some revelation about some sort of "celebrity" that I have never heard of!

Support it and signed it. I wish all forms of porn would be banned as well. Using women as sex objects is unacceptable.

I have always hated the page 3 idea, how can it advance the cause of feminism to allow this in newspapers? I am not as some people like to put it a 'rabid feminist' [read that once, as some woman said she didn't like page 3, needless to say it was a man who said it.]Am more like a 'mild feminist' but think it's high time topless girls/women stopped strutting their stuff in the papers.It devalues us.So yes, I do support this campaign, and haven't signed a petition, only because I didn't know that there was one!

We've been contacted by the No More Page 3 campaign to ask if we'd like to be added to their list of supporters, so we thought we'd put it to gransnetters to tell us what you think about the campaign.

The campaign started in the summer when Lucy Holmes found she couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that the largest female image in The Sun was of a young woman showing her breasts for men, even though Jessica Ennis had just won her gold Olympic medal.

We'd like to know your thoughts on the campaign, if you support it and your reasons behind it - and if you do support the campaign, if you've already signed the petition.
