The daily telegraph =/= playboy

The Daily Telegraph website looked quite interesting today:

• Bum rush - Supermodel Gisele bares cheeky side in barely there shorts. See the pics (complete with a thumbnail photo of her bottom)
  

• Bikini babes on parade - Girls, check out these hot bikinis, guys, just enjoy the view. Pics

• Dita lesbian porn past revealed - BURLESQUE stripper Dita Von Teese has a secret lesbian hardcore porn past, revealed by explicit clips of the stripper in bizarre sex scenes that were leaked online. Gallery: See Dita's burlesque strip-teese

And the main story of the day is leaked photos of swimmer Stephanie Rice (who?) from her facebook. She's shown wearing 80's gear for a party. Apparently there were some "raunchy " shots of her and her boyfriend on there, as well as her dressed up as a sexy cop for a party. And of course, the Telegraph has posted up Stephanie's photos. Because it's not like these sort of photos are readily available on any young woman's social networking site.

Look, I'm not the sort of girl who's going to whine "that's sexist!" because girls who are prettier than me are in the media. But I do wonder what this sort of thing is doing on a newspaper site. It just reeks of blokey magazine. There's nothing wrong with blokey magazines - hey, sometimes I find their articles much more entertaining than the tripe in women's magazines - but I don't think that pictures of Gisele's arse belong next to a story about a grisly murder.

If I wanted to look at boobies and bums, I'd buy a copy of FHM, not the Telegraph.


(On a side note: How is Dita Von Teese starring in porn with ladies really so shocking? She's a burlesque star who's starred in Playboy, talks openly about her promiscuity and was married to Marilyn Manson for god's sakes. I think it would be a much more interesting news story if Dita Von Teese had a secret fondness for knitting socks for orphaned kittens, for example.)
