    Let them keep it and let them die off like every other newspaper.

      I always felt awkward on the tube when a guy next to me had page 3 open.

        I'm a guy and I get my hair cut in a place that has Playboys out and even though it's all guys in there I'm still like who the fuck is sitting around reading these? And it's a small place that faces out into a crowded hallway so its like, given the internet exists who is just casually browsing this in here

        Same here. It's really unpleasant to be stuck next to somebody ogling naked breasts on your morning commute.

      You know what hurts the newspaper the most? If no one buys it.

        I'm amazed anyone gets worked up about this. If you've ever read The Sun, you know it's a newspaper for mental midgets. From its numerous spelling and grammatical errors you can see it is edited by 12-year-olds and to be read by 12-year-olds.

        In a newspaper filled with vicious attacks on immigrants, Muslims, blacks and gays, the one thing that really pisses people off is some girl's knockers on page 3? Jeebus, people really suck, including people who think they're totally progressive, yo!

        Complaining about topless women in The Sun is like complaining about coarse behavior on The Real Housewives of Whateverthefuck.

          Nobody said that was the sole thing wrong with the paper. But it is a significant one. The (only) beauty of the Sun is that you can hate it for a huge multitude of reasons. YAY for choices!

          Yeah, except that none of those things were mentioned.

          Yay for perspective!

        I signed that Change petition a very long time ago. It's depressing to see that despite all the effort those in charge of it have made, very little has been achieved.

        My grandparents buy that 'newspaper'. The worst thing about the topless photo is that it's often accompanied by a short, but serious political statement (not actually the model's opinion) in a speech bubble. It's called something like News in Briefs. The whole point is the ridiculous juxtaposition between politics and nudity, because 'bimbos' can't say worthwhile things about current affairs, obviously.

          YES. This, exactly this.

          I also signed the petition a while ago, and am so sick of all the 'arguments' people make in favour of P3, but especially those who argue it's 'empowering' or some such trite bollocks, when the News In Briefs section, as you say, makes it abundantly clear how little the editors, and likely the readers too, value women.

          "What you find is people who are against Page 3 have never read the Sun and would never read the Sun!"

          And Why is that, asshole!

            Because it makes the Weekly World News look like sterling journalism?

            Because it's a tabloid. It's not like it would be the Guardian if not for Page 3.
