Mandy would like to take Rupert Murdoch’s decision that The Sun’s page three girls no longer have to show their tits a little further, and calls for even representation across all sexual preferences and genders.
Support The Echo
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Crudity is not comedy.
And they say feminists don’t have a sense of humour!
Okay, so they don’t have a sense of timing or delivery.
Says who ? .. and besides, this is a social issue being brought to attention … with humour. If we said “Oh dear me ! how crass is the page 3 tradition of breast display in the morning news” who is going to listen?
I agree with you Mandy..each time I see that ridiculous pink van with its totally unrealistic,swollen looking and unappealing “boobs” stuck on the back I feel offended and annoyed. It’s an eyesore and adds nothing good to a day out in Byron – perhaps the crew who erase grafitti at the crack of dawn in Byron could erase that tacky crass little sleeze mobile on their round. How has whoever owns it, got away with the free advertising for so long – especially free advertising which exploits women and girls and makes fools of men – it brings us all down and is not beautiful, not clever or funny and is nothing but offensive and demeaning. I would like it go away.
