England ace in sex roast shame

That's one hell of a fuckin' headline.

I impulse bought the News of the World for the first time in my life yesterday. I have scanned it for news content but have found nothing but hierocracy and footballers sex lives. (The "England ace" referred to btw is a footballer apparently.)

Here are the current top five stories on the website:
EXCLUSIVE: England ace in sex video shame ("New shocking video reveals two players in vile orgy")
WINEHOUSE: Gangsters threaten to kidnap Amy ("Pay £100,000 or we kidnap Amy" - Have they not seen Ruthless People? I'd not pay you 100 quid for her. In fact, I might pay you that to take her away.)
ROONEY: Tranny cousin wants to be bridesmaid ("The plump relative... He's been pictured tarted up as a SCHOOLGIRL on a night out—sporting short skirt, red knickers, long nails and a blonde wig... he'd turn the big day into a joke." Not passing judgement on transgender behaviour there then.)
BEER: 2008 will be year of the £4 pint
SEX: Daughter snapped mum cheating with her fella

And my favourite quote from the cover article:
"The film of Richards' roasting — a sick act which involves one man having sex with a woman from behind while she gives a second oral sex — was passed on to friends' mobiles by the swaggering pair."

They don't even seem to have the balls to print the term Spit Roast in full. Note the use of the worlds 'vile' (in headline) and 'sick' (in the copy). Moralising on group sex. Yet elsewhere on the site we find videos of "Brian's temptation: The arrival of sexy blonde au pair Helga" and "Dear Jane Episode 2: Sexy behind-the-scenes video with lesbian storyline." It seems that lesbianism and affairs with au pairs are not so ill judged.

The main article goes on to talk about several alleged rape cases and to speculate that "...Richards might care more when he realises how the scandal will put his budding England career at risk under new coach Fabio Capello — a renowned disciplinarian who demands the best behaviour from his players." So forget the law taking care of such matters. Let's moralise on it ourselves, trial them in public, and only worry about the image of the beautiful game. Without even passing comment on current proposed rape law reforms or that "less than six percent of reported rapes currently result in a conviction, down from 33 percent in 1977."

It's a sad state of affairs that this is the state of reporting in "Britain's biggest-selling newspaper."
