Would you be more OK with Page 3 if the models covered up?

If the models were wearing dresses or casual clothes, would you find it less offensive?

I find it more offensive that people still count the Sun as journalism.

To the OP: No. There is no reason why women choosing to model that way is "offensive" either. It's tacky and tasteless, but to call it "offensive" is a huge stretch.

I don't see the point in having fully dressed and/or naked girls in a source that is meant to be informative. What do you need to be informed about, what the female mammary glands look like so that your mind can be at peace or wha? :erm:

Tacky and tasteless, in your personal opinion.

Just add a topless man with a nice body on a different page.

Yep, can't wait for Page 3: Saudi Arabian version, where the models are looking seductive in their full-body burqas, with one ankle showing slightly.

Really gets the blood pumping.

I would hardly say that the main function of The Sun is to be "informative". It's mostly just a rag made to entertain people with showbiz news and massively over the top and ridiculous representations of real life events and events invented by Rupert Murdoch's gang.

Haha, this.

I voted tfor "page 3 doesn't bother me anyway".

The "issue" over it is a pointless distraction for people looking for a cause where there is none.
Women exist, women can be naked, some women are willing to be naked for money.

It's 2015, and while I might think it sorta crude, anyone genuinely offended by the thought of some topless pictures in a trashy newspaper seriously need to reconsider their priorities.

Especially since most of these people don;t even read the Sun.

Just smacks of some prudish reactionary Victorian attitudes.

Humans find other humans sexually attractive, news at 11.

Best option right here. Just get a male and put him in the same/similar pose on the next page and voila: equality in objectification

I actually sincerely support this. No one seems to take this idea seriously, but I really don't see why not.

But yeah anyone who finds a woman choosing to get her tits out offensive needs to grow up. If they started dressing page 3 models it wouldn't bother me it would just make it pointless

I don't have a problem with page three, and not for the obvious reason. I just don't think it's a big deal. I take more issue with the rest of the content of The Sun.

I don't see the point in having George Clooney's latest wedding, agony aunt columns or horoscopes in a source which is supposed to be 'informative.'

What of it?

They already had one, must be over ten years ago now. It was a daily page 7 fella.
Stripped to the waist or in trunks in similar poses as the page 3 girls.
Funny enough no men complained. I believe the abandoned it because of the lack of interest from their female readership.
