I went to Oxford on a so-called liberal arts course... only to be fined £120 when I joked about my 'great rack'

The headline writer doesn't understand the meaning of "liberal arts".

Quote:

'I thought my statement was really funny when I wrote it. I wanted to do something provocative.

'I wrote it in a hurry, I did it last-minute in a couple of days. But as soon as I handed it in, I realised it might be offensive to some people, so I rewrote it. The idea that I’m an anti-feminist is rubbish.'

This attempt at satire backfired:

Quote:

The story hit the national press, and Madeline was devastated. Not only was her joke being treated seriously, but she now had to suffer her body being scrutinised to see if it was worthy of her claim.

‘There have been so many comments about my breasts on websites, which is creepy and horrible,’ she says.

I bet you can't guess which website has run four stories about Madeleine Grant and this vital issue since March, each one featuring comments such as:

Quote:

What rack? Evidently you've never spent time here on the beaches in southern California. Your rack, or lack thereof, is nothing to brag about. I hope people vote against you for your lack-of-rack.

What delusional planet are you from? WHAT rack...? You'd get a leading part in Treasure Island as the "sunken chest" that's for sure.

Quote:

‘On one, they ranked my looks with marks out of ten. I found it disturbing how casually a young woman is dissected.

‘One paper ran a picture of me in a bikini, which was taken when I was 16 and had been snatched from my Facebook page.

In a separate story, the Mail printed a photo with the caption: "Rejected: Willowy 17-year-old Madeline Jones"?

Maybe she's happy cause someone pointed out that unions do not have the legal power to issue fines?

Another Olympic Rings story. Why would he be sad about a Daily Mail free advert?

Husband claims he burned his face with an iron when he mistook it for a phone

Probably one of the most preposterous stories featured in the Mail yet. What on earth sort of phone is he meant to have that feels like an iron?? Smells like bullshit to me, although a good opportunity for the comedy commenters to crack out some hilarious gags about men being shit at housework or that we should leave it to women.

Great-grandmother, 69, ordered to remove her hood at Tesco by staff 'who feared she was a robber'

But Mrs Francis, a ballroom dancer, said: 'I just couldn't believe my ears that I was being treated like some common criminal.

How dare they suggest she could be a shoplifter, dodging CCTV! She isn't even black!
Criminals are arrested, not asked to remove their hoods. The reason nobody is allowed to wear hoods in many shops is so they can establish who are the nice old dears, and who are the 'common criminals'.

I've only just spotted this...I live about half a mile away, and the reason thres no house £ is because it stands right next to a busy roundabout on the ring road; plus all the students walking past,plus those returning from a night in town, and plus those heading back to a large council estate just down the road...no one in thier right mind would want to buy it.

If only both he and the criminal had assault rifles, the country would be so much safer...

Missed SadFace opportunity despite being a PLU fail, hubby looks sadder and he wasn't even there (perhaps gutted at missing out on an eyeful).

Can anyon explain why you would go into the changing room to avoid nudity? Do I belong to some special perverts' gym where we get naked when we shower?
