I thought you were alright. Unless you read it in an ironic way to poke fun at it......

This is more a dig at people who say "I'm only doing this to be ironic", because they tend to be scenester/indie wankers.

I meant read it for a laugh as it's so shite.

And therefore not the only one I jump on and demand an explanation.

But the Mail really grinds my gears. It's borderline propoganda.

Maybe that's what makes you so sexy, all that agressivity (I'm not sure that that word exists)

I put 2 gs at the beginning and thought "No, that doesn't look right" and took one off. Grrr

I can't be doing with categorising people as Daily Mail readers. I have my own mind so I don't instantly change my opinions and morality based on what I read in a tabloid. The propaganda is obvious, but every newspaper has propaganda, it's just people don't call it propaganda if it's already what they think.
The comments are amusing and it still surprises me just how close minded some people can be.
But that said, close-mindedness is judging someone for not doing exactly as you do, which is what people who judge people by the newspaper they read are doing.
I also read the BBC page, Sky and the Guardian, but that's 'allowed' isn't it? Well, maybe not Sky. Rupert Murdoch, foil hats, corporate bastards rah rah rah.

And I don't like categorising people either as I get on my soapbox when it's done to me. I think the parameters in OT can make it hard to articulate exactly what you think so you end up generalising a lot. I'm pretty sure that not all Daily Mail readers are nut jobs, however a lot of them are borderline.
Murdoch can do one though as he is taking Sky Sports News off freeview.

And if it didn't 'work' most of the time, people wouldn't do it.
