    Try my radical solution: don't read the red-top rags, ever. That way you are protected from reading all this crap.

    I don't, but I get the Train in most days so I end up seeing the front page as most of the other commuters are reading it.

      Ok so now you are complaining about reading someone else's newspaper on the train, I think the work irony comes in here somewhere. Take a book, stare out the window, play with your phone, snooze just don't read MY paper over my shoulder and then bitch about the content.

        If you sit opposite me on the Train, looking at Page 3, how am I not suppose to notice the big picture of Amy Winehouse on the front?

              Am I alone in having enough of the Tabloid coverage of Amy Winehouse Death? I first heard it on here when Nagy? posted it at the weekend, I followed the link and read about two paragraphs down when my interest started too wain. The Sun are still going with this as a front page story today, I wish they would go back to the usual format of Page3: Look at the TITS! Page4: We name and shame the people that looked at the TITS!

Page5: A recontruction of the incident when the people that looked at the TITS (with lots of full colour photo's of course). Page6 etc: What the TITS think about the current news ... :rolleyes:

                    Yes, I admit it. I posted the original RIP/AW following the standard convention of trying to be first to name a dead famous person in the Lounge. Now I'm sitting on the Reuters news feed waiting for Murdoch the next one.

                                          If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams
                                          You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering” - Wernher von Braun
