... and drinking, and probably having sex as well.

They've shot themselves in the foot with that one. Most of the comments are supporting the students right to give themselves a huge hangover.

Surprisingly the Mail has actually printed the fact that the level of violence and arrests was negligible.

I dislike Carnage and all that, and I'm a scavenging student. They're just....classless (having seen the results firsthand). Anyway, most clubs and streets are like that at some point anyway, and I been in the thick of it before, albeit no nudity/overbearing drunken assholeness involved. But that's personal taste.

As for the obscene words, they were written on leaving shirts after GCSEs at my school. I was called a donkey fucker. It was all an entirely irreverent joke. As that all is.

Also, I wonder if they'd have articles on the kids at Rock and N. Cornwall in summer, away from the trash pit of Newquay.

Note: I am not talking about class or anything here, just that I, as a contemporary of these people, don't like many of these activities. I simply don't enjoy them.

My local paper has the headline " stop this madness " about Carnage.
I knew nothing about Carnage till I read said local paper. I'm thinking if you really wanted to stop the event you wouldn't give it any publicity.

That has to be the most typically maily article i've ever read - just pure moral outrage. And I'd say about 95% of the comments are defending the students.

I love the way it's just exploded in their face. They really want the whole country to be as joyless and miserable as possible.

Hmmm, dilemma... The Mail's hatred of banning versus its hatred of young people...

And of course most of the pics are of scantily-clad young females...

This is beyond the wildest dreams of Carnage... the faux rage of The Mail.

The vast majority of people who had never heard of Carnage will now be aware of their depravity. Anxious hard working, white, middle-aged Middle Englanders will be contacting their children at university and be demanding they should not have Anything To Do With Such People.

Upshot? Yeah, you've guessed.

It all looks to me like Freshers Week with a free T-Shirt.

There was no Carnage when I was at uni back in '97-'01 but when I went back as a mature-ish student three years ago it was on then. I never went on it myself- I can't stand the idea of drinking pissy tasteless lager, putrid spirits and sickly sweet alcopops and then ending up in the gutter by three in the morning and I'd advise any other students not to bother. But if they want to I won't stop them- it's their lives.

Love the caption under the photo of the (obligatory) pretty young blonde lady: "Students dressed up and scribbled profanities across their bodies as part of a pub crawl which saw 1,500 students descend on the streets of Norwich on Monday (obscene words have been edited out because they are so offensive)"

I love the Mail stance on it all- 'we hate all this and find it so offensive we have no option but to tell everyone else about it' and I bet the students who appear in the article are loving the attention! Nice bit of free advertising for the Carnage organisers as well.

I am not the sort of person who would go to Carnage (I get off my tits on Ribena), but everyone else can go for it! In fact, I have a friend who went to the Norwich one and loved it.

I missed that before! The offending words as far as I can see are 'wank' and 'cock'. How would the delicate flowers that read the Mail cope with such outrage?

I think there is a "cunt" in there somewhere.

I think that is "Daily Mail Reporter"

You have to admire the chutzpah of Mr Dacre objecting to the word 'cunt'.

Great to see the Mail not getting the response it expected. Below is fairly typical;



That's down to the Daily Mail mostly.
