Express subcontracts hatred out to Star

What you have to remember is that Star readers will be either (a) sitting in a Transit, sipping at a vast mug of hot tea before embarking on a long day's tutting or (b) having a wank at the nudie ladies. If they're doing (a) then I suppose a bit of hatred is enough to stoke you up for a hard day's graft, even if it is based on bollocks prejudice and not true in the slightest. If they're doing (b) then it becomes an uncomfortable hate-sex interface.

Anyway, the Express has abandoned bashing the Musselmen for a day or two, and is concentrating on its latest favourite topic, prices:

We told you yesterday that prices would fall, and look, they have! Aren't we the brilliant oracle of wisdom? Er, yes. We kind of knew that already, by driving past petrol stations. And hearing it on the news. And that kind of thing. If anyone wondered why newspapers are going down the toilet, you could do worse than look at this shambles. All those redundancies to come too... though it'll still take six months to pay back the cost of libelling Kate n Gerry McCann, Robert Murat and now the 'Tapas Seven'.

Meanwhile, it's the Star that has been given Muslim-bashing duties, with a story about the evil brown bastards being juxtaposed with a woman in her pants:

See, the evil BBCCCP are putting Muslims before YOU. Not that I guess many Muslims enjoy the Star's infrequent anti-Islam rants, but it creates the idea that Muslims aren't welcome to read the paper - it's US and THEM as far as they're concerned. There's a deeper level at which it's just a whole big bowlful of wrong: the story is about the BBC supposedly allowing anti-Christian jokes but not anti-Muslim jokes; therefore Star readers are Christians, not Jews, Hindus, atheists, agnostics or any kind of non-Muslims, but definitely Christians. Now I'm not saying Christians won't buy a paper with tits and bums all over it, but on the other hand, surely true Christians would think that slagging off other religions is a bit, er, un-Christian... no?

Meanwhile, the Expressdependent has another photo of a baguette to remind you of what baguettes look like. They look like this:

Ah yes, thought that was how baguettes looked, but wasn't too sure. Thank fuck for the handy 'woman with baguette' photo to help me be sure of what I'd be getting!
