    I think its the opposite. The sun probably want rid of page 3 but don't want to upset their core readership. Any celebration results in their core readership noticing and so the boobs return.

    Reports of its death were greatly exaggerated.

    The Sun's topless images have long drawn protests from campaigners, with an online petition against their use attracting more than 215,000 signatures so far.
    Wow - such a huge amount of support for it

    Also it was more in the Carry On category than 'porn'

    But then a woman realised that some men may actually be enjoying themselves and so put a stop to it...
    I wondered if in a weird way, starting P3 was seen as a victory for women, that they were allowed to get their wabs out in a national paper if they wanted?
