Gary Floyd Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4565505.stm A photo of Saddam in his underwear? I think we found a weapon of mass destructuion.
edotherocket Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 By TOM NEWTON DUNN GEORGE Bush yesterday launched a probe into how pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underpants were leaked. His spokesman said: “He has been briefed. He wants to get to the bottom of it.” Mr Bush stressed he did NOT believe The Sun’s snaps yesterday would cause a backlash in Iraq. The fascinating photographs — which also show the fallen tyrant, 68, washing his socks and sleeping in his cell — provided the first glimpse of his life in captivity. After appearing in The Sun they were shown around the world on TV and in newspapers. In Baghdad, Iraqis gathered in coffee shops to laugh out loud as our front page picture of their ex-president in his Y-fronts was screened by Arab networks. - TheSun.co.uk
Zorin Industries Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Good to see the Sun clinging to its standerds of top quality journalism.
yankovic fan Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 "He has been briefed" Oh they meant the president.
CanadianGuitarist Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Meh. It's not like the U.S never broke the Geneva convention before. But in this case, I'll refer to the case of 'two wrongs making a right'.
Red Baron Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Good to see the Sun clinging to its standerds of top quality journalism. Wait? There's journalism in the Sun papers. That's a first
TheFranchise Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Good to see the Sun clinging to its standerds of top quality journalism. Wait? There's journalism in the Sun papers. That's a first Sigh. I wish people would see that The Sun is more than a 'page 3' paper. It's easily the best newspaper the UK has to offer.

TheFranchise Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 No, because there is nothing else to add. You stupid moron. It's a good job i'm in a nice mood.
TheFranchise Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 In fact, genius, instead of giving half of your opinion, why don't you give me a name. Tell me why the sheets are better than The Sun.
Quit Calling My Mama Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 No, because there is nothing else to add. You stupid moron. It's a good job i'm in a nice mood. Ooooh! Get you! In fact, genius, instead of giving half of your opinion, why don't you give me a name. Tell me why the sheets are better than The Sun. Did i say the sheets are better than The Sun? I cannot see me making such a statement but just make things up as you go along. You did however say that it's the best newspaper in the UK which is just laughable. You're more than entitled to think such but it wont stop me thinking you're a fool for doing so. Maybe the rest of the papers need to start running front pages stories like'OMG SOME CELEBRITY GETS A NEW HAIRCUT! GUESS WHO!! FIND OUT ON PAGE 7!! Turn to page 7.......IT'S SOME RANDOM BIG BROTHER RUNNER UP!! Or two days after 9/11 having the main story being 'THE QUEEN HAS A RUBBER DUCK IN HER BATH'. Yes, it's sheer class. Journalism at it's finalist. I salute you sir!
AndrewTS Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 The Sun is a British tabloid newspaper owned by News Corporation. ...that's from their official webpage, too.
SuperJerk Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I don't think they use the word tabloid the same way over there, though.
Mystery Eskimo Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 The Daily Mail is a fucking abomination. The Sun is ok for what it is, I suppose.

TheFranchise Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 And at this point, i'll remind everybody that I read the sun when I have my breakfast.
Guest Dale Earnhardt Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 You guys are missing the obvious Fox News joke here seeing as News Corporation owns both. Anyway, I hear that Saddam plans to sue The Sun and the US Military. Isn't that almost shooting himself in the foot? Saddam is to disliked for him to possibly win and you can't find an unbiased jury in the known civilized world.
Quit Calling My Mama Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 And at this point, i'll remind everybody that I read the sun when I have my breakfast. It's a shame you don't read it when on the bog. It'd be more apt.

Saddam is to disliked for him to possibly win and you can't find an unbiased jury in the known civilized world. Eh, go to Berkley. I'm sure Saddam could find a lot more than 12 people that would be willing to believe him over the military.
PLAGIARISM! Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 The Sun is garbage, the only ones I can stand are The Times, The Independent and some of the Observer/Guardian sports and music supplements.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Is the Sun more like USA Today or The National Enquirer? because we get a supermarket tabloid called The Sun here, too. I was curious if they were the same.
