Not Bashing The Mail Or Anything, But ...

[joggerjayne]

The Mail continue today with their "ground breaking journalistic coverage" (Surely "complete obsession"? Ed) of Prince Andrew's alleged liaison with a 17 year old ...

In the meantime, the same leering lads' mag (Surely "popular newspaper"? Ed) seems to have another obsession ... the sex appeal of one Kylie Jenner ... who can't wear a crop top without the old pervs at The Mail snapping multiple photos of her bare stomach ...

And Miss Jenner's age?

17 !

[Daffy6543]

My main issue with the DM over the Prince Andrew thing is that they keep referring to that Jeffrey Epstein as a paedophile, the term is not applicable to him as none of the girls he is accused of abusing are prepubescent.

[joggerjayne]

No, Daffy. In fact Virginia Roberts was the same age as the aforementioned Kylie Jenner, whom the Mail seem to believe their readers find so physically alluring.

[jno]

that irritates me too, Daffy. It looks as if a word with a prec ise meaning has very quickly become one that means anything you want.

Like pashmina.

[Daffy6543]

There is a word that applies to being attracted to teenagers between the ages of 15-19 and that word is ephebophilia I have tried telling the people at the Daily Mail via email but they seem to prefer to be in the wrong.

New word of the day gets Best Answer.

"Not Bashing The Mail Or Anything, But ..."

Lol, yes you are ;-)

[youngmafbog]

or Racist, that's a pretty abused word on this site.

It's usually caused by the lazy or inarticulate.

[RandyMarsh]

Did they not describe a 13 year old girl as a "leggy blonde" recently?

[joggerjayne]

// Lol, yes you are //

Okay, strictly speaking, maybe a little bit.

[anotheoldgit]

A vast amount of trouble gone to in pursuit 0f bashing the Mail.

Just don't read it, it's as simple as that.

[joggerjayne]

Aww, come on, AOG ...

One can't not look at the Mail. That would be like saying "don't watch Jeremy Kyle" or "don't look round when two cars prang each other".

[grumpy01]

It would be of more value JJ if you highlighted the tick-box questions of those who answer the NHS helpline 111.A person has phoned and after going down his/hers check sheet asks "are you conscious" also the downgrading of emergency calls to ambulance services so they can maintain their target response times,these are things of more interest.Prince Andrew that over age playboy can look after himself and if he chooses to mix with dubious company then he,IMHO,becomes a legitimate target.

[chaptazbru2]

It's also on the front page of the Daily Mirror !

[joggerjayne]

You're right, grumpy. I'll have a look at those stories, too. x

[joggerjayne]

The Daily Mirror is still published?

[chaptazbru2]

Eh ?????

Wow, you don't watch Jeremy Kyle also? as regards the two cars I would think everyone by sheer instinct would look round, just the same if someone was to say "boo" or burst a balloon within ear shot.

Actually, the Daily Mail now uses the equally strange phrase 'all grown up' to describe underage girls when they want to print pictures of 13-14 year old girls for a section of their readership to leer at.

Also, the 'leggy beauty' as described by the Daily Mail was...wait for it...eight years old.

I'm not kidding.

The article was about Heidi Klum's daughter Leni who (once again) was an eight year old child at the time:

An article on the subject:

I don't know about any of the Daily Mail supporters/readers on Ab, but I really don't think it's appropriate for a family newspaper to prints stories where the writer is obviously promoting the sexualisation of minors.

All grown up indeed...

/// I don't know about any of the Daily Mail supporters/readers on Ab, but I really don't think it's appropriate for a family newspaper to prints stories where the writer is obviously promoting the sexualisation of minors. ///

From the few times such stories have passed my eyes, (simply because although I often use the Mail's web page, this kind of thing doesn't interest me, as it appears to interest some) it has mainly been the mothers of these minors who encourage it.

In passing there seems to be more Daily Mail readers than some care to admit, but funnily enough they are not interested in their news reports, but only seem to focus on this type of thing, strange.
