There are several articles on the Daily Mail website today that deserve a quick comment. First, there's the Mail's second attempt in a few days to out-do the Daily Sport in publishing 'upskirt' pictures of young women in short skirts/dresses. Generally speaking, there is very little news value in 'singer gets into limo', but a lack of news value has never stopped the Mail website before... The paparazzi...
