I think you’re right
i buy newspapers mostly for the crosswords. I normally buy the Express & Telegraph and I used to buy the sun, however, I’ve made a conscious decision to stop. I have two daughters aged 13 & 11 and a son of 15 and I am literally unable to explain to any of them why I’ve bought a paper with a topless girl in it.
As a family we’re not the slightest bit prudish about a naked body and I’m ambivalent to the number of naked bodies I see in my newspaper as part of a legitimate news item (even if it’s only vaguely legitimate to be fair e.g. Phew it’s a scorcher in San Tropez, famous film star falls out of her skimpy dress, rude late night antics at the holiday swimming pool etc. ). I think that on reflection the most indefensible thing is the normalisation of a formal presentation of a topless girl purely for the titillation of readers of a family paper (I’m in a family of 5 and unless I’m mistaken the headline could be transposed to “this ones for you dad”).
Anyway, worse things happen at sea ! However, in a world of shades of grey (sic) with very few areas of plain black and white, this is something that is just a plain wrong. My last point would be (and having bought loads of copies of this paper) “why no boobs on Saturday ?”) I assume its cos Saturday is a “family day” and “the kids might see it” !
My suggestion would be offering an olive branch, everyone hates being told what to do and everyone loves their own ideas. Why don’t News Corp just stop page 3 on one day ( unannounced) and then another, see what happens to the readership. Sure they’ll get some emails but only from surprised not concerned readers, can you imagine “I bought my newspaper today and there was no young topless woman presented within it’s covers, I shall whence forth switch to the Daily Star” - come on ! really ?
Oh well, I seem to have gone into one, but as per the email title I think you’ve got it right, Page 3 is a part of history, wedge haircuts, wap phones, big Bonnier Tyler hair, flares, glam rock, massive collars, opal fruits, etc etc. If they don’t wake up and sort it out they’ll just continue to make themselves look silly.

Blog Post from St Philips
A brillaint, to the point, blog post by a supporter at St Philip’s Chruch Sherwood.
Does your faith support our campiagn?
‘While I’m not opposed to provocative imagery or sexual content in the media (I value freedom of expression), I think Page 3 is symptomatic of the casually accepted misogyny that exists in the press and society at large.’
