What.... the... fuck?

I bet this still won't be enough to get most of their readers to realise they're supporting a bunch of bastards.

Fuck me.

Also, why wasn't I aware of this blog of Linehams? ("By being ignorant," - ed.)

lin-e-han, pete

Good find! Not exactly surprising, but a superb illustration of the point. WHY do people read those papers?

Hannah was a happy 13-year-old until she became an 'emo' - part of a sinister teenage craze that romanticises death. Then she hanged herself. Her devastated mother tells other parents: No child is safe

Awesome! They will be calling it a cult next.

Jeezus, what a bunch of cunts!

Remember kids - you can stop yourself catching 'The Emo' by getting pregnant as young as possible - it's the only way to be safe!

Oh my god i just got so mad reading that article, there are far too many ridiculous statements for me to even considering quoting any. I had to stop reading about half way through because my other is getting mad at me for shouting over the tv.

They already did that a couple of years ago. It's one of my favourite pieces of Daily Mail propaganda, not least because of the forehead-slapping idiocy of including the ACTUAL problem in this part:

Quote:

The teenager turned to her and said: "I feel like killing myself."

Breaking down in tears, Mrs Bond told the inquest: "I think I said: 'Don't be so silly. We'll talk about it in the morning.'"

An hour later, Mrs Bond went into her daughter's bedroom at the family home in East Peckham, near Maidstone, and found Hannah's lifeless body hanging from the metal railing of the top bunk.

CLEARY EMO IS AT FAULT. Also a cult, and not, for example, a genre of (terrible) music.

And if this were the late 18th Century, the headlines would all be about the dangers of copycat suicides caused by reading Goethe's ' Sorrows of Young Werther'. Nothing new at all.

In fairness, I got through the first few pages and considered topping myself.
