Newspapers
The Mirror* newspaper

The day after the Brit Awards some years back…

‘Evil Jarvis Cocker, with his wicked behaviour at the Brits, he should be shot – we appeal to our millions or reader to boycott all of his music (not that we know what his music sounds like) because he had the audacity to wiggle his arse about when Michael Jackson was trying to be God’


The day after the day after the Brit Awards – and in line with the rest of the country ‘Free Jarvis! Send £9.99 and get your Free Jarvis t-shirt (the £9.99 is to cover administration fees), or buy his music or do something, we completely misjudged public opinion on this and are now completely changing our opinion, not that the average Mirror reader will notice’


There was also that time the Daily Star had on page 6 ‘all kiddy fiddlers should be punched in the face with an anvil’ and on page 7, directly opposite ’15 year old Charlotte Church wins Rear-of-the-Year!’ Look at this picture of her ass!


*To be fair, The Mirror were the first newspaper to kick off a ‘Free Deirdre Rashid campaign when Ken Barlow’s wife/ex-wife/mistress of Mike Baldwin/Wife/ex-wife/wife/ex-wife turned Shirley Valentine/wife got her self banged up following that relationship with the phoney pilot.

I remember seeing the 'evil pedos/phwoar 15-year old arse' edition in someone's paper at work
office lols occurred when I pointed out the sheer hypocricy of it.

Irony
Rather than hypocrisy.

I stand corrected
You may have to explain "Irony" to the americans though

Ironic...
...is a musician having a hit with a song called 'ironic', that technically isn't about irony.

Apparently "quality" is a term used within the newspaper industry
to refer to the broadsheets...I found this out after snarkily describing the Sun as a quality paper and having my contribution edited.
