Just The Slightest Whiff Of Hypocrisy Here?

Given the Mail's daily diet of 'busty' 'toned legs ' 'long legs' 'revealing costume' - and similar titillating guff that decorates their on-line links just slightly to the right of this page, aren't the Mail being hypocrites in getting all prurient over a TV presenter's style of clothing, which is perfectly acceptable in a hot country?

[ummmm]

It's ridiculous.

I'd like to see a few more piccies just to be sure but tbh I think it's a storm in a ?-cup.

Its crazy, such a fuss about nothing, and she is so good at her job, lovely girl.

Last night she had a white dress on that must have nearly gone down to her ankles.

What is so ridiculous about it, is that behind her at the swimming pool, were lots of female swimmers showing their crutches, and in the Beach Volleyball, the girls are nearly naked.

Have a look halfway down the page. Apparently her stylist (Cobbie Yates) lives in a giant paper shredder.

So , what's the verdict of the jury ?

Is Rebecca Adlington stroking Mark Foster's thigh ?

Unless you're referring to the Paralympics, I think you might mean that the female swimmers were showing their crotches, rather than their crutches.

They're not actually criticising the outfits. The tone of the article is more of a 'PHWOAARR!, what a sexy little minx Helen is!', so basically in line with their other stuff.

They are pampering to those that like to be offended.

I think you are reading too much into it. It's just another excuse for a piece about a good looking woman wearing light clothing. Not so different from the 'millions' of stories all down the right hand side of the page and slowing the download to a crawl.

[andy-hughes]

Old_Geezer - that is precisely my point.

The Mail churns out its outdated behind-hands tittering schoolboy nonsense on the right of its website all day every day, and then comes over all moralistic and high-handed when a TV presenter dares to expose her legs.

That's where the hypocrisy comes in.

TTT - //well far be it from me to doubt a student of the Daily Mail Andy! //

I am a reader of the Mail, but I would never say I was a 'student' - it's never taught me anything!
