Daily Mail lands another exclusive: the bin from Angelina's hospital room

Daily Mail sinks to new low: checking out children on the beach
The Daily Mail today reports that "sweet" Sweet Georgia May Jagger, daughter of musician Mick Jagger and model Jerry Hall, "has inherited her father's famous lips and her model mother's stunning figure as she stepped out in a bikini while holidaying in France."
Er, Daily Mail, you're pointing that telephoto lens at a child on a beach. Wrong much?
Almost as gross as Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles counting down the days to Charlotte Church's 16th birthday when she'd be legal and he could 'take her virginity' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/2...
What is it about girls suddenly reaching the age of consent that has the tabloids slavering over their still-unformed bodies?

Sex every day of the year: could you handle it?
The Daily Mail today reports on a woman whose birthday gift to her husband was the promise of sex every day for a year, and who (how convenient!) has happened to write a book about it.
Now, there are *just too many* issues to rant about here, but I think I'll start with:
"Charla is the most unlikely sex guru... She admits to being 'sturdily built' and is on the wrong side of 40."
Nothing like making the meaty and the mature of us feel great, Daily Mail.
Or perhaps...
"'When my girlfriends ask if it's healthy to do it once a week, three times a week or whatever, I just tell them to do it twice as often as they are doing it at the moment. Their husbands will love them for it, and they might just find that they love themselves that little bit more, too. If they let themselves.'"
*Hurrrrrl*
But dodgy Daily Mail-isms aside, could you promise your partner to have sex every day? And should you?

Daily Mail wants the Bayeux tapestry back in Britain
It only seems fair, as the UK doesn't have any kind of history of stealing stuff from other countries and keeping it for ourselves.
"But - despite evidence suggesting that the Bayeux Tapestry was the product of British craftsmen - anyone wanting to see the work of art has to travel to France.
Now there are calls for the famous embroidery (confusingly it's not actually a tapestry) of the 1066 Norman conquest to be brought back to British shores. It is a suggestion that could well test the entente cordiale - not too mention French President Nicolas Sarkozy's proclamation of a new step in relations between the two countries."

British businesswoman facing jail in Dubai 'after having sex on the beach'
30-year-old British woman Michelle Palmer has lost her job and faces a jail sentence of between 3 months and 6 years for breaking decency laws in Dubai after having sex on a beach, according to the Daily Mail.
Now, we all know the Daily Mail isn't the best source of reliable and balanced news, but if this is
really the case this woman *should* be scared, and feeling more than a little stupid. Dubai doesn't go easy on its own population, let alone foreigners who refuse to tow the line. Sex outside marriage, cohabitation, adultery and homosexuality are all illegal and punishable by very severe sentences.
Why you'd want to go to such restrictive and extreme country in the first place I don't know, especially as a woman (well, I hear the money helps), but was this woman standing up to a repressive regime in some way by getting jiggy in the sand, or should she simply have obeyed the laws of the country she chose to work in... and, um, just gone home to bed?

Man defends neighbors store from thug, gets charged with assault
A businessman was stunned when he detained a yob for smashing a shop window only to be charged by police with assault.
Steve Kink apprehended a thug after catching him breaking into a mobile phone shop late at night.
Although the 47-year-old was punched in the face, he managed to pin the offender to the floor.
Passers-by called the police while he stood over him until officers arrested the 25-year-old man.
Mr Kink, who owns a tattoo parlour, was stunned when he found out the next day the suspect had been let off with a caution for criminal damage.
But his shock turned to fury when days later police officers turned up at his house to arrest him for assaulting the thug.

Women 'can't have casual sex like men': Daily Mail joins the women-bashing
Lock up your daughters, sisters, mums and mates! Casual sex can finally be revealed in all it's destructive glory by (wait for it...) The Daily Mail. Women, be warned.
Last week a report was unveiled that claimed women 'feel bad' after casual sex and are emotionally damaged by one-night stands, so they'd damn well better stop doing it. http://www.metro.co.uk/metrosexual/article.html?in_arti...
And now the Daily Mail has wheeled out some poor damaged girls to share their sob stories, and ram that moral lesson a little further down our throats. That's right people: the DM has Proved The Scientists Right.
One of the Mail's doe-eyed victims of the sexual revolution was apparently left feeling "worthless" and "emotionally destroyed" after a one-night stand, but it's ok, cos she understands now that men and women are *just different* and she's taken a vow of celibacy as a result.
And - how convenient! - the researcher cites basic, evolutionary biology as the reason that women just can't handle a one-nighter.
The DM can confirm that - lucky old things! - men are no more than their basic biological impulse to get down and dirty with anything that moves in order to spread their seed while women are better suited to... Well, staying at home, taking care of the kids, enjoying the odd monogamous shag when him indoors fancies meting it out, and seeming more attractive to said promiscuous male as a result.
Now, I *know* the Daily Mail's advice is in my best interests, but I just can't get my head around the idea (perhaps I need to think about it over the ironing) that because I'm a woman I'll naturally respond like the 'majority' of women to a one night stand (and 58% isn't much of a majority). Perhaps it's buried in my subconscious and I'm just too irrational to recognise it but, unless I'm confusing myself, I don't recall having responded to many experiences like *every other woman* in the world, just as I can't quite remember having responded to any given scenario like every other brunette, or every other bisexual woman, or every other deaf person.
The Mail's totally unbiased reporting tips the balance in this argument though - not only will putting it about with a number of 'Mr Wrongs' make you feel like crap, but it'll decrease your chances of ever meeting 'Mr Right' too! It's clearly not worth the risk. Thank you Daily Mail, for showing me the error of my ways.
Now where's that chastity belt... Oh yes. It's in the BIN. Along with any copies of the Daily Mail ever to have existed.

Emo against the Daily Mail
There are few things that would drag a typical teenager out of bed early on a Saturday morning, but defending the honour of a beloved band from tabloid attacks is probably one of them.
Around 100 My Chemical Romance fans had already gathered at Marble Arch, in central London, by 10.30 this morning - not bad given that organisers had given the protest a 12-hour window, of 10am to 10pm, and that there was a last minute change of venue.

Angry emos to picket newspaper
Hundreds of very unhappy (even more than usual) black-clad emos are set to march on the notoriously right-wing Daily Mail's headquarters in London to protest against the newspaper's coverage of My Chemical Romance and its fans.
They're especially sad (2x normal emo sadness) about recent articles in the paper that they claim wrongly casts emos as a "suicide cult".
Up to 300 protesters have already signed up and organisers have urged them to be on their best behaviour and pick up their litter. And presumably not kill themselves.

PM backs down on bill to ban press spying
Gordon Brown has demanded the scrapping of longstanding plans for a clampdown on newspapers that illegally buy personal data, such as health, bank and telephone records, the Guardian reports.
There has been a campaign by leading newspapers, including representatives of the Daily Mail, News International and the Telegraph, to lobby the prime minister about the bill and critics say that Brown has bowed to this pressure.
This kind of press behaviour has already been illegal for 15 years, but because the current penalties are only fines, the law has been widely flouted.
Last year a News of the World reporter was jailed under existing laws for hacking into royal telephone messages in pursuit of gossip.
A spokesman for the Daily Mail said "If the legislation were to proceed, Britain would be virtually the only civilised country in the world where journalists and editors could be jailed for doing their job. These views have made known to the prime minister and the minister of justice by senior industry figures."
There have been reports of rows in Whitehall over the threatened U-turn. One senior Whitehall source said last night: "These media barons - just how much power do they have?"
The government's sudden retreat also drew criticism last night from the information commissioner, Richard Thomas, who said it was vital to stand firm against "powerful last-ditch efforts" by the media to derail new laws.

Daily Mail foams at mouth over 'teen sex orgy'
The conservative British newspaper, renowned for getting all excited over sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, has got itself in a tizz over a massively naughty party at a village hall in Somewhere-on-the-Naze. The teenagers involved forged parents' signatures in order to rent out the local community hall for an end-of-term celebration, which in a classically British outpouring of lack of sex education and rebellion towards the whiff of exclusivity surrounding alcohol, ended in a messy pile-up of unprotected sex and visits to the local Accident and Emergency department.

Why men are obsolete
British scientists have concluded a round of messing around with inner body parts with creating sperm from female bone marrow, causing considerable distress to those cheeky chaps at the Daily Mail. Any children born using this method would be female (due to the lack of Y chromosomes), and there is high chance of birth defects. Researchers in Brazil, meanwhile, claim to have turned embryonic stem cells from male mice into both sperm and eggs. They are now working on skin cells.
