On The Daily Mail: An Outrage

Source

I would like you to do a little test before you read on. Go on then, give it click and see what it says.

If you have been reading my blog (and I hope you have), then, you must at least have an idea of how much I do not like The Daily Mail (and I say that with the utmost leniency!). I'm quite sure I'm not the only one who harbours these feelings. I think there might even be a Facebook support group for people who hate The Daily Mail, but you did not hear that from me.

Why do I dislike them so much? Because they are a set of intolerant and sexist bullies who, sometimes, make me give up hope on humanity. They are either telling you that you're too ugly, or too fat. Or too rich or too poor. There's just always something. I have never seen so much hatred for women, not thin people, immigrants, the poor, homosexuals, old people, Muslims, pregnant women and catholic priests, celebrities, etc. In fact, just think of any category of people. The Daily Mail should be very ashamed of themselves. They are a group of trolls who need to be sent on exile.

The Daily Mail certainly hates me. I fit the profile - female, black, foreigner, Catholic, student. Guess what? I hate them too.

On the Most Beautiful Woman in Britain

On rare occasions, I like to read really horrible tabloid news. Well, not on rare occasions, but I had to say that, for fear of being judged. Anyway, I came across this article sometime last year. Basically, this woman, Samantha Brick, talks about how she gets special treatment because of how beautiful and attractive she is (poor her!). She wants you to know that she is by no means "smug". In fact, she wants us to feel sorry for her because her female friends have had her cut off from their lives due to the fact that they are threatened that she might steal their men from them.

Just a picture of the woman in question before we continue:

Okay, one more:

And a video of her (not) bragging about how attractive she is:

You get the idea. The entire article sounds like a joke. Someone in the comments section rightly asked if the article was a joke for April Fools' Day. And as if the article was not enough, she needed to be heard on national television.

If this is a publicity stunt merely trying to get a reaction from people, then kudos to her. Job well done. If. however, she genuinely believes all the things she has written and said, then I don't really know what to say. 

On the Kardashians

For someone who is not related to or even friends with them, I probably know more about the Kardashians than I should. What? Can you blame me? They are ALWAYS in the news. They're an interesting set of fame-hungry, camera-loving people who live in a surreal world of designer bags and mansions. They're an addiction - a guilty pleasure. In the unlikely event that you have never heard about the Kardashians, then do some research.

Blah blah blah. The list could go on. I just don't understand what the obsession with them is. Every single thing they do is news. They've basically taken over the media, not just in the US, but in the UK as well. You have no idea how embarrassing The Daily Mail's obsession with them is.

It might sound like I'm complaining. Well, I'm not. We all need some entertainment from time-to-time, don't we? And who could say no to a set of people who have willingly volunteered to entertain us? Certainly not I.
