It's not often I am offended...

but these really pissed me off:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...rnography.html

poor lass

there was just no need to splash this over the internet and papers... moral poverty at its worst. At what point did the editor think 'hey, that's a good story'?
You might also notice that neither article has published the name of the author... 'kin' cowards.

Honestly, sometimes I don't understand how people can behave in such a crass manner.

It's bad writing, too, at least in the Metro. Since when do hearts have electrical systems?

Pretty much since we evolved from ocean slime.

Ever wonder what an ECG measures? It ain't steam powered.

Yes that sort of thing should be kept her secret! If her Parents are still alive I wonder how they would react to reading that tripe!!

I'm wondering if this is even real!?

How could a writer be so shallow? That's just awful! I mean at least she died in a state of ecstasy but how shallow to inform the whole world about it! I mean, that's a very private matter and I'm sure she didn't want to be found that way. They painted her out to the world like she was a whore or something! What if their own mother died from anal leakage or something?! Would they be so cold and write up the graphic details of that for us to lose our breakfast over?! Sheesh!

I know that electrical impulses are used in the heart, I just think using "electrical system" to describe that conjures up the image of some sort of cyborg heart from the future. It sounds odd, in other words.

Not the only odd sounding system in the body... Endocrine System... sheesh sounds like a place the Starship Enterprise visited.

really??? and I always thought my heartburn is because the boiler overheats from time to time

back to topic: there's a whole epidemic of bad tasteless writings in all but a few serious newspapers. 5 out of 10 were tabloids to begin with and 4 out of 10 became that as the population dumbed down. I had to buy 3 newspapers to get enough information for a recent referendum so I could place my vote, but no problem finding out who has cellulite

condolences to her family and it's time to sue

Thanks for the heads-up jumpy. I posted a comment on Metro for whatever it's worth. Hopefully they'll have a new editor in a few days! As for the Daily Mail, well, it's about par for the course for them.

Edit:
My GF says the Daily Mail and the Metro are the same people!?

Sex sells... end of line.

Why not call it by its real name, the Daily Fail.

What mostly annoys me about that is not the fact that someone writes about their family, but the fact that someone makes wide sweeping conclusions based on a very limited amount of data.
