Check my post here: [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/7.245065.8947417] we went through a lot of checkups on Rickets earlier this year.Greyfox105 said:
British Newspaper Blames Videogames for Rise in Rickets
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
The Sun would post "conclusive" proof that the Earth were flat if they thought it would sell a few extra newspapers. They are the British equivilant of Fox News.
Who owns the Sun? Is it Murdoch? I bet its Murdoch.

OT: Why should we care about what The Sun says? Everyone knows their news is pure garbage. Going to them and expecting credible stories is like going to Fox and expecting non-biased reporting. [sub][sub]See what I did there?[/sub][/sub]
Its the Sun... people only read it for Page 3, the comics and a laugh. There rarly is any "proper" news in there.
You're correct, Murdoch does indeed own the sun.008Zulu said:

Who else does he own? Oh...Fox News...Nerf Ninja said:
Yeah...about that...Any American readers can just replace all instances of "The Sun" with "Fox News" for exactly the same article.
This. Russell Howard is the voice of our generation, he knows what he's talking about.etherlance said:
Hey if we're already at it, let's just blame everything on games. A rise in the crime rate? It's the fault of the games. Terrorism? Of course it's the games. Many children not having clean water and food? Who else could it be if not the games. My dog died, again it's the games. What else could we blame on the games, so that we don't have to actually take responsibility for bad stuff that happens in the world and which isn't easy to be solved.
You know what I found funny is how much of a hypocrite they are (yeah I know I'm talking about The Sun here). I happen to pick up the newspaper that mention about the whole Rickets which I read which is a total bull just to blame gaming alone.
Anyway a pages after that article, in the Clarkson (part of the newspaper) there was a small column which had the heading "A call to arms for fathers" which an image of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
This article is just about a guy playing that game with his children (don't get me started about children playing mature games). He goes off writing about the benefits of playing game with his children since he's not in the pub spending his money on beers and getting drunk nor is he betting his money away in horse racing. He said the main benefit of playing that game was bonding with his children while killing AI Russians and zombies.
So it pretty much WTH? to state one negative thing to everyone who read and then to have another state the positive thing in a few pages later.

Lol The Sun reminds me of the three year old in the corner that noone pays attention too so he yells random bullshit to try and get some attention.
The Sun is the trolliest troll of all the trolls of trolldom and it be trollin'

I can't even read the newspapers in this country anymore beyond the sport sections, load of lying, poorly written drivel.
The Sun isn't even worthy of the title of "Tabloid", as all it is is a collection of half-witted ideas and poor literary skills.
People only buy the Sun because of the tits on page 3, and the occasional sport exclusive they have, so fortunately few people will have even seen this article.

It's Jeremy Clarkson. Love him or hate him, he doesn't make up stuff just for the sake of sales and he ignores most editorial influences. For example, he's mentioned (I think in his Sunday Times column, another product of News International) that he considers being employed in the BBC far better for your future prospects than ITV. Saying the BBC is better than the other channels in a Murdoch paper?Scarim Coral said:
I wouldn't be too surprised if it transpires that more people read the Clarkson column in the Sun than that day's news content. Although, the Russel Howard video posted above makes any elaboration on the state of newspapers repetition.
