Page 3 girls have led the backlash against The Sun's decision to end its topless tradition, claiming the move has been "dictated by comfy shoe-wearing, no bra-wearing, man-haters".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_3
Model Rhian Sugden, 28, criticised at the move, suggesting it was "only a matter of time" before everything they did was dictated by such people. Former glamour model Jodie Marsh insisted that "telling girls they shouldn't do Page 3 is not being a feminist". She said she "loved" posing for Page 3 and that it made her feel powerful and earned her good money. "Women should empower and encourage other women," she wrote on Twitter. "For that is the only way to truly be 'equal' and have rights..."
Former glamour model Nicola McLean said she did not think Page 3 was a "sexual equality" issue. She told ITV's Good Morning Britain: "It has been going for many years, which is one of the reasons I feel so sad that it has seemingly come to an end. "I don't think it is outdated. I think the girls still look fantastic on the page, they still clearly enjoy what they are doing, people still want to see it. "Everybody still wants Page 3, apart from the feminists who are fighting an argument I just don't agree with. "If you meet any Page 3 girl who has gone on to pose for the Sun, we are all very strong-minded women that have made our own choice and feel very happy with what we are doing. "We certainly don't feel like we have been victimised."
However, the Sun's apparent decision to ditch its traditional Page 3 photograph prompted a largely positive reaction from campaigners and critics. The "Page 3" hashtag was trending on Twitter whilst BBC Radio 4 led their news bulletins with the item throughout Tuesday morning. Several MPs, including well-known Page 3 critics Harriet Harman and Stella Creasy, weighed into the debate. Emma Reynolds, the shadow housing minister and labour MP for Wolverhampton North East, said it was "brilliant news" while many congratulated Lucy-Anne Holmes, who spearheaded the No More Page 3 campaign.

Re: No more tits
For some reason my wife became somewhat hostile today when I told her about my new idea to become part of a comedy routine. It went like this:
"Winter, don't you hate it? Winter is coming - you can say that again. I can tell when it's winter by looking at my wife's breasts. Not because the nipples are hard... no, not that. It's because they're heading south... ouch! Ow! Look it was just a joke. Ow!!"
No hardship is too difficult to bear for a good laff, eh?

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Yay!!!
THEY’RE baaaack! And they are bigger and bustier than ever.
After a brief absence of three days, The Sun’s salacious Page 3 girls have returned to the tabloid’s pages with a cheeky tweet from the paper’s publisher. The brash tabloid tweeted an image of tomorrow’s Page 3 that features a photograph of topless “Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth” under its “Clarifications and corrections” section.
“Further to recent reports in all other media outlets, we would like to clarify that this is Page 3 and this is a picture of Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth,” the caption reads. “We would like to apologise on behalf of the print and broadcast journalists who have spent the last two days talking and writing about us.” The news will no doubt enrage feminists and the paper’s critics who were still celebrating the demise of the sexy segment after 45 years.
