Today I was behind a woman in the newsagents, and she bought the Mail AND the Express. I should have attacked her, to giver her the chance to write a letter about being beaten by a yob. Hit her with a copy of Attitude then she would have had the caché of being beaten up by a gay yob.

Jamie, you went to the trouble of doing ALT+130 for nothing.

OK maybe you do but it's of limited use if, like me, you type in French a lot.
In the great Daily Mail tradition, I'm right even if I'm quite obviously wrong.

The Daily Mail were supportive of the Nazi party until the Second World War was officially declared. That's not an exaggerration, they were.
It really is too easy to take the piss out of The Daily Mail. You don't even have to take the piss out of it, you just have to look at the paper itself.
I remember a few things I saw in Viz taking the mick out of it though. One was an article which said "110% of Daily Mail readers disgusted that working class people can win the lottery", and another was a Gilbert Ratchett cartoon where he had to help a newsagent sell the Daily Mail and he said somthing like "The only way to sell the Daily Mail is to frighten stupid middle aged women. So I've created their worst nightmare: a Muslim gypsy paedophile in a hoody!"
The Daily Express is a wannabe Daily Mail, which is a bit pathetic. It's also hugely hypocritical considering the guy who owns it also owns pretty much every porno mag in the country.

I've been brought up to hate the Daily Mail. My Dad has a speech and everything.
The best line about the DM has to be what my cousin said when my Dad gave her said speech: 'Whenever I see someone buying the Daily Mail, I always think- how brave of you! You left the house! There's probably a family of illegal immigrants giving your children AIDS as you speak!'
There was a girl at school who thought the DM was a Broadsheet. She was quite clever as well. Me and my sister used to call her Dolly, after Dolly from Dinnerladies...

I think I love your Dad, tacyemarley. My father READS the Mail. What's more, he's a policeman. Draw your own inference about his attitude to race relations from that.
I'm waiting until they give away a FREE ASYLUM SEEKER MALLET with the Mail on Saturday. And a wall chart the following week. Then curtain-twitching-crypto-fascists called Sue the country over can have the following conversation in the tea room at work....
"Did you get your Asylum Seeker Mallet?"
"Yes, we love it. I battered three Somalians to death with it last week and marked them up on the wall chart."
"Really, we're having much more luck with it. I got four Gypsies and a hoodie wearing black person last night. We're applying for the carriage clock that plays 'Deutschland Deutschland Uber Alles' as our prize."

I asked my parents to send me their Dolly Parton CD from the Mail on Sunday so I wouldn't have to buy it - it has just arrived, and the buggers have only gone and included the Diana DVD that was available in the Mail last week. Just to torment me with its shitness. How mean!

I We're applying for the carriage clock that plays 'Deutschland Deutschland Uber Alles' as our prize. I thought they hated the Germans? Or is that another paper? The people who spouted xenophobic diatribes at me when I told them I can speak German always struck me as DM type readers. Or is that my prejudice?

It was the German national anthem during the Nazi era (which the good ol' DM supported, not forget).

I know, I think that's part of my Dad's speech ('The Daily Mail have been wrong about every major issue since it began...'). It just seems that despite the fact that they're blatantly Nazis they're very quick to play the 'Oh we're British, we won the war, so much better than those dirty foreigners, especially the Germans who are all Nazis' spiel.

My mum used to buy the Mail on the weekends because she liked the magazines and because I think she secretly liked reading all the Diana scandal. Then she got a new boyfriend and now he makes her buy the Independent so that he can get the free film DVDs. Even though I don't like the Independent it must have been quite good for her because she has started recycling quite enthusiastically since she started reading it.

The Mail does a very good magazine/TV Guide on Saturdays. There's someone called Jaci Stephen who reviews the soaps over a double page spread, She's a bit full of herself, but often quite witty. I never actually buy the paper itself, I just go into Tesco's and take the mag part out of the paper and put it in my basket with the rest of the shopping.

I bought it today for the Alice in Wonderland dvd. I felt ashamed. It might make you feel less ashamed if I say I bought it on Sunday for the Merlin DVD. I do really like Miranda Richardson though, and I think that film is worth seeing for her dual role as a gravel voiced sorceress who looks like she could be in a Netherlands symphonic metal band and as the floaty, stoned Lady Of The Lake with fish swimming round her neck.

The Danielle Steele collection free for a fortnight, starting tomorrow with the first one starring Stephanie Beacham herself! How perfectly lowculture.

I am upset by this as I would ADORE a Stephanie Beacham-starring DVD but cannot bring myself to buy the Daily Fascist even under those circumstances.
I did laugh at the advert for it, though, it said something like "Danielle Steel's unique psychological perspective on the needs of the female consciousness" or somesuch.

Just take the dvd and slip it into your Guardian. Its a victimless crime.

I thought Stephanie Beecham's line in this ad, 'I will make your life a living hell' summed the paper up nicely.
