Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper featured bare-breasted beautiful young women on it’s ‘Page 3’ until 2013. Blogger Tim Ireland campaigned against this sexist objectification of women through his Bloggerheads blog. Here are a few excerpts from that blog. While it was not Rupie himself discussing Blair’s apparently more than ample penis, it was certainly done in his newspaper with his consent. Enjoy ;)
The Scum have come out in support of Blair with a front page, interview, and editorial that declares he is worthy of your vote because he is a “decent, caring family man”… with a large cock that he can put to good use up to 5 times a night. I kid you not. The article only appears in the newspaper, but here’s a juicy excerpt from the interview:
CB: Oh come on Tony, strip off. Let’s see that fit body we’ve been talking about. TB: You can keep your hands to yourself, Cherie! Scum: So how fit are you Tony? CB: Very! Scum: What, at least five times a night? TB: At least, I can do it more depending on how I feel. Scum: Are you always up to it? CB: He always is! TB: Right that’s enough – interview over. And I’m not doing any kissing pictures! Come on, woman, time to cook my dinner.
This is not a joke, people. This is an actual excerpt from the interview.
I remain confident that these editorials were strategically placed by then-editor Rebekah Wade/Brooks in order to better service her friend and political ally David Blunkett, and not the result of any topless model(s) spontaneously deciding that they would use the empowering platform of Page 3 to express their admiration for the work of the beleaguered Home Secretary.
That said, there is an outside chance that this was a genuine and spontaneous outpouring of emotion following the first of two resignations:
The Sun’s Page 3 16 Dec 2004 from Tim Ireland’s Bloggerheads. It’s cropped of course – Katie’s Blunkett-supporting funbags have been cropped out by Tim Ireland.
