5.2.13 Newspapers - Available Space

Space Allocation

The Sun is a newspaper that's annoying in terms of its repeated allocation of space to people who are in fact wastes of space.  Last Friday, the front page showed four different things/people.  Half of the page was taken with a photograph of David Beckham, with "Golden Boules" as the headline.  With all the important things going on in the world, Beckham's agreement to play for PSG for 20 weeks was deemed the main topic.  What pissed me off, though, was not this choice, but The Sun deciding tow feature two further photographs that had no CUNTING business being on a front page of anything; one was of Kelly Brook and the other was of Russell Brand.

Inside the paper, Beckham got a full page allocated to his charitable efforts [although there's a lot more to this than that] but to my utter fucking disgust, Kelly's split with her latest boyfriend (number 117 ?? who knows) was also deemed worthy of near enough a full page!  Fucking farcical!

Russell Brand got a page and a half, on his latest un-newsworthy shite involving women, sex yoga and bollocks.  A complete travesty and an affront to humanity, let alone journalism.  Shame on you, The Sun.

The woman who lost an eye had a small photo on the front page, and the same nearly-full-page allocation inside the paper as was awarded to Kelly Brook.  Hmmmm . . . 'go compare'.

On Saturday, Danniella Westbrook smiles from the front page, with the caption "I want to foster kids from drug abuse families".  This is NOT news, or of any interest, of any relevance or worthy of front page mention - let alone 1.75 pages of shite inside!

In case anyone was feeling deprived of pointless Kelly Brook input, the newspaper published a large photo of her on Saturday as well, on page 4.  On Monday, Beyonce, Rihanna, Kimberley Walsh and Tulisa all appeared, giving us a break from Kelly, but she's back today, on page 24, looking happy and showing cleavage as usual.  Her recent split with whoever-it-was seems almost as irrelevant as Kelly herself.

There seems to be so much space available for useless women who do not have any relevance to news at all.  What with 'Page 3' females, there's little that is now demanded before an appearance is 'justified' by the press, in particular The Sun.
