Inappropriate headlines
 

I realise the newspapers have to report the news and sometimes that news is unpleasant. But I also think they have a responsibility to young readers. I had to spend a lot of time the other day explaining the front page of the Telegraph to my daughter who likes to read the paper.


Who else thinks that it was an inappropriate subject for the front page?

Edit by andrewb: The headline in question was "'Upmarket' Blackburn bar stages 'Ibiza porn party'"

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

i know what you mean Gayle, Reece likes to read the paper, we only get the Observer though, fortunately we dont get the telegraph

maybe this could have been a centre spread so you could have just taken it out

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

As there are children on this family site is it not the same thing Gayle ?

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

I take your point Mick - and feel free to remove the link - but my point was that it was front page on a local newspaper that drops through the letter box every day.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Does this mean I've missed it?

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Missed what?
The headline or the party? :)

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Well, the party, actually, although I see the story's vanished, too...which is a pity as I wanted to check if it was last Saturday or this Saturday coming. ;)

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

I haven't a clue what Gayle is referring to, so I can't really comment..... no link, don't buy the paper????:confused:

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

I don't live locally so I don't see this newspaper. What is the point of keeping the thread going if the link is deleted?

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

i think the head line was " santa isnt real " which i think would be wrong for small children to see

ps:

he is real teh papers tell lies

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Not a typo there? "Satan isn't real" sounds much more believable!:rolleyes:

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Well, as the link's been deleted, I suppose I can't say what it was about, or my post willl be deleted, too!

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Well, whatever it was about, it is still a topic of conversation as to inappropriate headlines in newspapers.

Children see all types of nasty headlines don't they in the form of destruction and crime linked to horrific pictures, so I suppose can't hide whatever from them altogether.

Still, presume whatever it was Gayle, may have sold the paper to the people with the cash .. the adults ?

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

never saw it, so no idea what it was, all papers have a high percentage of garbage in em anyway, i'd be more worried if children were brought up to believe what they print without question.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

hell i dont even trust the tv guide in newspapers lol

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Ridiculous censorship here... either post the link or close the topic.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Wonder what the F stands for :rolleyes:

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

i was hoping Fox :D

sadly this is not the case :(

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Have you seen that minger she lives with, what a waste
:rolleyes::D

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

I think it was censored because it concerned an adult topic(even though it was on the front page of the Lancashire Telegraph) and this is a family forum. Hence the removal of the link.
But if you wanted to go back and look at the Lancashire Telegraph for Thursday or Friday last week then it would become evident what the post is about.
I hope this helps.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

I think I know the one you're referring to here.

My son is 8 and reads the papers.

I've had to explain many a lurid headline that he's too young to know about really.

I don't think they realise that young children are reading them.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

I had to ask Gayle in the middle of a game of Scrabble, what the healine was about.

Although we are a family forum, with members having to be over twelve years of age to join, haven't we had serious debates on here about the subject involved?

It was certainly discussed in the recent thread about photographs on Facebook.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

they also deliver them , granted paper boys/girls arnt 8 years old but they are still children

mind you one mucky sod used to have his adult magazine tucked inbetween his daily express on my paper round lol

my fiend spotted it , i didnt want to look - honest guv

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

ya know somat considering how many people buy their kids 18 rated games to keep them quiet like gta4 etc i think the headlines of a local rag are the least of the problems

most young teenagers with a ps2 or xbox will have played gta3 where one of the missions is to sleep with a prostitute then kill her to get your money back

my ex partner was physically threatened whe she refused to sell a 18 rated game to a womans child, the woman was annoyed that she had to get off her fat arse and come into town to buy it for him

the majority of 18 rated games end up in childrens hands , just because an adult bought it dosnt mean the adult will be playing it, i witnessed loads of parents buying games for their children who would run and pick up an 18 game and pass it to mummy or daddy to buy for them

sorry for the thread wander but although soem kids are not exposed to things like this a lot are already familiar with sex,violence,foul language and drugs before they even leave the house because parents buy them games containing these elements

not saying its right whatteh telegraph printed on its front page but its merely a drop in teh ocean

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Let's hope the children don't read all the ads in the back of the Telegraph for prostitutes.:(

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

are they in the jobs section under positions offered ?

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

I think there are many positions offered.

It must be a bit confusing if you're looking for a new telly and you see a coloured tv offering money back if satisfaction isn't achieved.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

once saw an advert in a newsagents window in blackpool offering teh services of a convincing TV with pictures to show what was on offer

from teh size of teh bulge in the TV's thong it didnt look too convincing to me pmsl

it may have been a tuner knob for all i know :eek:

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Mick intended to take the link out but put the text of the headline back in, but he forgot to do the latter. For those who haven't found out yet the headline was:

Re: Inappropriate headlines

Re: Inappropriate headlines
 

Thought they'd barred those adds Rindi, I stopped getting the LT about 18 months ago, but the other week somebody brought a copy to show me a story which I'd missed on line, but there was no sign of sexy saddie in the jobs column, maybe she had become gamefully employed:rolleyes::D
