    Re: Daily Mail refers to Olympic cyclist as "some bitch"
    God, I remember reading an article by Jan Moir for my English Language exam, all about why she hated Wimbledon. (Over-commercialisation).
    Had no idea it was in the Daily Fail.
    Can't believe she wrote "some bitch from Holland." Marianne Vos was the fastest woman on the planet or something, Lizzie Armistead did amazingly- so close. Bloody Daily Fail. Such a rubbish newspaper.

    Well all I'm saying is I can't wait to see what they write about the Japanese mens gymnastics team after the final tonight. I think that will be interesting.

    Oh I agree, I wonder why they haven't included any borderline racist comments today?
    That was nice of them. I still hate the Daily mail.

    Am I the only one that finds the fact that this is the second most widely circulated newspaper in Britain slightly disturbing? :lolwut:

    The Daily Mail, the paper that supported the regime that invaded the Netherlands in 1939 and 1940.

    On a unrelated note, i'm no feminist or even a female but I feel like it would suck to be a female because you get judged by your looks on everything you do. Whatever a woman is doing be it cycling or running a company their appearance has to be mentioned.
    What, just like Rebecca 'reflection-of-face-in-back-of-spoon' Adlington?

    The Daily Fail strikes again.

    I wish a media broadcaster would also refer to it as the Daily Fail at some point in the future.

    See what I mean? Was that really necessary? If she was a man her looks would hardly get a mention. Ok Rooney got called Shrek a few times but it was never to the level of abuse that poor Adlington gets. Girl has great talent and all anyone cares about is her face. Music has the same problem pretty much. Today's so called musicians are more pretty faces than their actual singing ability. I think this society should value talent over looks.

    Mate, stop being such a loser and just appreciate her for the great athlete she is.

    In the future, I wouldn't blame people if they look back at the Daily Mail and conclude that we were still semi-barbaric in the early 21st century...

    I thoroughly agree. I just found Frankie Boyle's comment amusing; and it certainly doesn't impact my opinion of her as an athlete.

    I do appreciate her for the great athlete she is... and I have nothing against her face - they're Frankie Boyle's words, not mine.

    They are a national disgrace, we're the host country, and the daily fail is churning out crap like this. They are an embarrassment to Britain.

    At times I sit back and think to myself about how lucky we are not to have something like Fox News in the British media.

    And then I remember.

    Oh, wait...

    Considering it criticises women day in day out and has some of the most prudish and conservative attitudes toward them, I'm more concerned about the fact that it has the highest female readership of any UK paper...
