Unleash The Nade Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Sorry to disappoint any Nicola Sturgeon admirers, who thought this was a thread about her getting her kit off! However, on the radio this morning, I heard that she was starting a campaign against the Suns Page 3, as she found it distasteful and degrading towards women, but strangely enough, I cant find any news link to this on the internet as yet. Is this simply an attempt by Sturgeon to gain more female voters or do the P&B masses agree with her and that this topic should be so high up on her agenda ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraz Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 NS on Page 3 *shudders* What's the end game? Ban it? If lassies want to get them out and gat paid for it, no problem. Everyone knows the Sun has a page 3 and if people don't like it, no problem don't buy it. Such a non issue imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I semi agree with her. I've no problem with porn or lads mags etc, but sexualised semi-nude pictures featuring in a daily newspaper does seem a bit off to me. I'm split though on my belief that children etc shouldn't be so easily exposed to such images, and my belief that if a paper wish to feature those images, and members of the public wish to purchase a paper with those images, why should I (someone who does not read nor purchase the Sun) get in their way. Because of this I'm not sure I would agree with any outright ban. Personally I like the Waitrose compromise. Still sell the Sun, but keep it high up making it harder to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Page 3 is shite anyways. Well unless it's Rhian Sugden, who is theeeeee best looking woman on the planet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm not sure how you go about banning this (whether or not that's sensible or not), and I'm not sure how high up on the priorities it should be. But the concept of p3 girls in a national newspaper (although I use the term newspaper loosely) is fucking ridiculous these days. I'd like to see the sun take the progressive decision to end it themselves, but I reckon I could be waiting a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) The Sun should be banned. Not page 3 though. The only reason to buy that shiterag is the tits in it. Edit: Am I going mental in my old age but did the Record not have a page 3 girl in the distant past?? Bring back the lager can ladeeeez as well.

Spain Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 NS on Page 3 *shudders* What's the end game? Ban it? If lassies want to get them out and gat paid for it, no problem. Everyone knows the Sun has a page 3 and if people don't like it, no problem don't buy it. Such a non issue imo. They'll slap a tax on things like it, which wouldn't kill scud mags, but would kill the 10p Sun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Compared to the other pages of the Sun the third one is spiritually uplifting, intellectually enriching, morally enhancing and a shining paragon of honesty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Compared to the other pages of the Sun the third one is spiritually uplifting, intellectually enriching, morally enhancing and a shining paragon of honesty I'd have to disagree with the honesty part. Do the models not get a bit of surgical enhancement and airbrushing. Hardly honest is it? I like my tits as nature intended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 They'll slap a tax on things like it, which wouldn't kill scud mags, but would kill the 10p Sun. Is it only 10p? Still overpriced IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Don't see why they still have a nudey on page 3 on the sun anymore should be done away with and not be on view in the supermarkets for our children to view Don't get rid of the newspaper altogether though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hold no fear for her. Nicola Sturgeon on the other hand makes her run away greeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Banning Page 3 is censorship and is patronising to both men and women. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Sounds to me like ol' Sturgie is a repressed lesbian. You know, in addition to her being an utter c**t of a human being. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Banning Page 3 is censorship and is patronising to both men and women. Women's bare chests in a film get a 15 rating and a post-watershed billing in TV. Patronising or unartistic as it may be, breasts getting censored is nothing new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Don't see how it's degrading if it's someone who is willingly taking the pictures and being paid for it. I'm pretty certain that the photographers are almost never forced into it, no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I don't find them degrading or anything i just don't see the point in having topless models in page 3 anymore its pretty 90's If i want to see tits i just hop online or walk in on my gf when she's in the shower 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
