Scum-watch: We would never invade anyone's privacy!
There is of something endemically hilarious and hypocritical about a tabloid newspaper being outraged at how our privacy is being threatened, considering much of their profit and stories come exactly from someone's privacy being infringed, for whatever dubious justification, but it's especially breathtaking when it rants like this in the editorial column:
while invading the privacy of a girl who's found herself caught up in a storm because of her relationship with a Rolling Stone:
Yep, Ivanova's former squeeze has sold photographs he took on his phone to the Sun. How this is justifiable and not a breach of Ivanova's privacy is not explained. It will however doubtless delight the one-handed mob that rule online. It is also worth pointing out that the News of the World and the Sun were among the top users of busted data information seller Stephen Whittamore.
Meanwhile there is yet another bad news story about Facebook, this time of a young mum whom had her photographs taken off the site and used on one of a pornographic variety. This could of course never happen to anyone on MySpace (prop. R. Murdoch), and even if it did, you can bet that the Sun would be the first to let us know. In any case, you can rely upon the MyScum users to ensure that the abuse doesn't end there:
Because as we all know, copious sex instantly means copious amounts of kids.
AN Englishman’s home is his castle.
Big Brother Britain seems out of control.
The Sun supports CCTV cameras which make our city streets safer.
But people are fed up with the clipboard brigade poking their noses in our lives.
Over-mighty councils use anti-terror laws to catch dog-foulers.
Now snoopers can march right in to see if we’re breeding rabbits.

BUSTY Ekaterina Ivanova shows the charms that lured Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood into bed.

3 kids at 22? Sounds like you've had far too much sex.

Last week the Scum's front page had Ronnie Wood's girlfriend looking out of a window with the caption "Ronnie-o, Ronnie-o, wherefore art thou, Ronnie-o?" - which doesn't make any sense. Even for GCSE English I learned that 'wherefore' means why and Juliet wants to know why the boy she falls in love with has to be Romeo.
Yet the Sun's subs clearly think 'wherefore' means 'where'.
