The daily Star

[old.ignus]

Before I start I would just like to make it clear that I only read this paper out of boredom and when someone else buys it.

Has anybody noticed the amount of spelling and gramatical mistakes as well as the poor research in the daily star. For people who are supposedly profesionals they make far too many. For example today, an article on mistake made in movies and titanic being one of them mentioning that the titanic sank in the Artic ocean instead of the Atlantic ocean. If it had sank in the Artic there would have been even less survivors. Earlier an article talks about Bo selecta, and says that the best of all is the bear up a tree that hosts a pop show. A pop show??

I remember a few years ago reading a section on the front page about Lara Cox, a picture of Lara Croft had the caption "Lara Cox is about to star in her own film" It really doesn't take much effort does it? Are all their reporters lazy and dyslexic? Give me the sun any day.

The lara cox/croft thing...

Could that be the bird dressing up as her?
They changed a fair bit iirc and I'm fairly sure there was one called lara, that could have been her.

But I agree the star is shite

 

[Will]

It would have been Lana Cox then, not Lara. Not the most original pornstar name ever.

 

[old.ignus]

No this was a long time ago, like tomb raider 1 - 2 time, and the picture was the cartoon version.

 

[doh_boy]

heh her surname was weller

all the birds that have done lara croft

 

[Maljonic]

I thought it was all the same girl, now I feel cheated!

God. Anyone who reads the Sun or the Star or any other rag as a Newspaper is a tard. Light entertainment value only.

 

[Maljonic]

well, obviously...

So which one do you read?

 

[Embattle]

All newspapers are shit, that is all.

 

[old.tRoG]

Broadsheets make you look clever. Apparently.

I find the local ones are the best, Evening Mail isn't so bad, and I read the Sun of a saturday (I'm sorry, I like to laugh at the problem pages ok? and of course the weekly football pull-out during the season, I'll read it and know what didn't happen during the match, so I can work out what did)

 

[mank!]

Newspapers r 4 clevar peepz!!1

 

[old.Fweddy]

I once had to buy a week's worth of Daily Mails for college research. They made me larf.

In one there was an article saying that newspaper reports about oil spills demanding immediate action to stop them getting worse were irresponsible as they forced governments to respond too quickly and so cause further damage to the environment. Two days later there was a report about an oil spill off Spain, demanding an immediate attempt to stop the spill getting any worse.

 

[Tom]

people who read the star are thick

 

[ECA]

We get the times and the telegraph, I usually flick through one every other day or so, get most of my news online.

 

[Embattle]

Newspapers are so worthless that they end up recycled or used at the bottom of a birdcage to collect shit......thats how much we value them.

 

[Clowneh!]

recycling is a good thing right?

 

[PR.]

Can't stand newspapers, always full of bias reporters pretending they're impartial. If I'm going on the train and want something to read I synch my iPaq with the BBC News text only site, that way I get most of the important news and I can increase the font size so I don't get a headache trying to concentrate on the tiny text bouncing around

 

[Jonny_Darko]

I don't understand where anyone gets the time to read a newspaper every day.

And why do broadsheets have to be so unmanageable? Just because they're better newspapers, where's the rule that says you need a 6 metre wingspan to read them? What would be wrong with broadsheet content in a tabloid-sized physical format?

 

[old.Fweddy]

I thought newspapers were for swatting flies? Broadsheets are better because it's easier to hit flies with them.

Never got further than that quote m8..........

NEVER buy the sun. Ask any scouser why.....

 

[~Mobius~]

Independent makes you look smart but its so big! I just buy the Daily Sport for the articles. (and tits)

 

[Will]

You just need to learn how to fold a broadsheet.

Clearly it takes more effort than you were prepared to put in with your rebuttal

Titanic is a proper noun, so it should have a capital too.

[edit]How shocking, I forgot a comma.

 

[Furr]

and remember to dot the i's and cross the t's

I've reported The Star to Snopes.com a couple of times for reporting urban myths as fact.

The Sun is where it's at

No I was trying to be ironic.

No the truth is that my spelling for some reason recently has been shit, I blame the stress my new job is bringing me and the temperatures I work in I'm sure are against health and safety. What is the max temp in the working enviroment?
