The end of page 3?

[xoggoth]

What a horrible thought!

This was on Radio 4 Womens hour this morning. A load of feminist groups were going to tell the Leveson enquiry it needs to expand it's remit to include the way women are reported in the news. As ever they put some bloke (can't remember his name) up against 3 angry feminists and grilled him and this came up. He did a great job of defending himself without upsetting the women for a change and advised them more women complained about them removing page 3 last time and that a pair of norks was hardly porn. He also advised them the huge majority readership of the Sun was male. He could have also pointed out that the words News and The Sun shouldn't really exist in the same sentance but maybe that is just opinion

I am all for equality and all that but when they get wound up on Womans Hour it really puts my back up.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I think there's been a fair few 16-year old Page 3 girls. Which means it can't be porn, or it'd be child porn.

Child porn uses 18 as the definition even when 16 is the age of consent? I'd rather not try googling anything with "child porn" in the title...

However, don't they always lie about the ages, if they claim a 19-yo is 16 then what are the rules?

Why not? Never had any porn or page 3 when I was an adolescent, I had to w* over my sister's copies of Horse and Hound.

Skipping ahead I had a moment when I got to 'sister' in that sentence
