UK's Daily Mail - it's real?

All,

I like to read it. Seems to be a rather realistic overview of the British public.

I was looking for this:



But first I found this, which is also funny.

This is an oldie but a goodie, and sums up the Mail quite nicely.

That's a bit like saying that the Westboro Baptist Church is a realistic overview of Christianity in America.

 

It's not a newspaper, it's a comic for grown-up people that don't want to grow any more. It's read by people wo would rather be living in the 50s, not the 1950s though the 1850s.

The longer I looked at this graph in detail, the less sense it made. Even if it had made sense, the lack of attribution for the numbers they used does not make for a warm, fuzzy, this-is-valid-info, sort of feeling.

 

 

Also, I may be wrong but I suspect Phone would have included a tongue-in-cheek smiley if he could have found one.

I love the way that they always link Romania and Bulgaria. Two countries that are as different to each other as chalk and cheese.

I think you probably have a point about Phone's smiley. I just forgot mine

The Mail could be viewed as our equivalent of 'Fox News'.

Worse. Bill O'Reilly is on Fox News, at least you get a giggle from him now and again.
