Well who buys these newspapers and magazines?They don't buy themselves you know. Our shop at work stocks all the main newspapers, but then loads of Heat, OK, Now! - that sort of pish. Presumably they stock them because people actually buy them.
It's no coincidence that our building is mainly filled with vacant fuckwits.
They also stock The Rangers News, which totally proves my point.

Yes but the link between "sordid sex stories"and increase in sales is false. They could just put pictures of attractive women in their underwear and it'll increase sales, they don't have to describe "sex acts" with footballers.

Eh? So are you suggesting that 'celeb' magazines are predominantly bought by hetero men and lesbian women? I think that's 'grot' mags that you're thinking of.

No I'm thinking about News of the worldand The Star and the Express,
as I mentioned above I think the celeb magazines are different to the Tabloid press. The celeb mags almost have a pact with some celebs which I don't think is that bad, it's the confrontational attitude of the press that is what's wrong.
