Pregnant pop princess a shock to the system

I AM a glutton for newspapers. I am lucky enough to have my copy of the Irish Examiner delivered through my letterbox at 7 o’clock each morning.

Devouring its pages is a central part of my breakfast.

But my stomach recoiled when I turned to page eight of your issue of June 30.

Dominating that page was a picture of a ‘pregnant pop princess’ fully naked, lifted straight from the cover of a magazine. Now if I want to view this kind of thing, I can buy the magazine.

I want to tell you most emphatically that I do not welcome this fleshy assault on my senses from my morning newspaper.

Do you really have to do this kind of thing to sell your paper?
