Well Charlie Hebdo wouldn't have got away with it in this country. We're more civilised than the French.

And freedom of speech and freedom of the press is bollocks. Nobody should have the right to be so offensive.

Completely agree, but where do  we draw a line  as to what is offensive and what isn't??  And who makes that decision on our  behalf??  Unfortunately we live in a society where it is very easy to claim offence at something  someone  says where is reality a little bit of common sense could be  applied and the offence could  be  shown up as being fake.

The Sun is absolutely spot on  when it says that those opposed to Page 3 don't buy the paper, but it is still the  best selling daily rag in the  UK.  As a paper it  will only disappear if the public stop buying it, but Page 3 will be back if their sales drop.

Everyone somewhere is going to be offended by something or other. Page 3 is outdated its not the 1970s or 80s its 2015 and times are a changing. Music videos aren't music videos they are pretty much soft porn and they use it to defer from how bad the music is and also to increase sales because sex sells. If a car company did an advert of a woman or women in lingerie stood next to a car then it makes certain people think if I buy that car then I will get a gorgeous young blonde as well which isn't the case. Its a persuasion technique which works on gullible people to increase a companies sales. But it just isn't one sided it can work both ways I've seen adverts which are aimed at women using scantily clad men to sell perfume and yoghurts yes you read correctly yoghurts.
