Surprise! – The SUN Masterfully Punks UK Feminists on Page 3

I can’t put it any better than the Stoat Weasel did this morning: (Sweasel.com is the blog of an American woman ex-patriot living in darkest England.  Uncle B is her husband.  I think.  Bowdlerization by Grunt)

winking-pin-upOh, well played, Rupert Murdoch’s Sun. Well played.

To be fair, they didn’t actually say they were shutting down Page 3, but they strongly suggested such. Then they went all modest (if underthings and bikinis can be called modest) for a couple of days. And now, the [boobies] are back!

It’s been dee-lightful to watch this play out all day.

First the howling shrews of the Perpetually Offended Brigade were all like WE WON! And then they were all like, we won, I guess, but it doesn’t feel that satisfying, really. And now they’re all like WTF! WE DIDN’T WIN!?

The sweetest part? Today’s [boobies] ran under the headline CLARIFICATIONS AND CORRECTIONS. I wouldn’t have realized this if Uncle B hadn’t told me: that’s the header from the ultra-lefty Guardian‘s correction column.
