You know what my problem is about the daily star report re: r/hr in the poa film?

Their use of the phrase 'sex up'. And not just because I think that term applied to 13 year olds is inappropriate (yes, I do feel that way. 15? 16? Not so much. But 13? Hell, yes).

But because I'll bet fifty galleons that the self same paper and the reasers who don't blanch at such a statement would be horribly critical of snogfics set in the poa timeframe, or even ootp, because they're for kids.

Am I being too pre-judgmental?

This piece of 'journalism' was from The Daily Star? I have not actually seen it, but all I can say is:

Star, Sun and Mirror, Mail (worst to not quite so bad (though the Mail slides down the scale if it concerns 'British values', a subject they like to promote).

Bollocks, say I, in an entirely friendly, pub-argument fashion. :-)

LEAST WORST
Daily Mirror
The Sun
Daily Star
Daily Mail
I'D HAVE TO PUT IN SOME MORE HTML TAGS AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT "PERSONAL HELL" MEME TO PLACE IT PROPERLY

...though if the Daily Mail can get me to the USA and back for just the cost of taxes, fees and 35 rags of seething hate and bile then I shall forgive it. Just about.

(I would've put The Currant Bun above the Mirror had it not been for that "Bonkers Bruno Locked Up" debacle last week. Way to lose friends and badly influence people, guys...)

I still haven't forgiven the Currant Bun for their Hillsborough coverage, for that matter.

And why has no-one decided to villify the Daily Express while we're at it?

I fail to ever consider the Express to be anything approaching a newspaper and so always forget about its very existence.
