probably.
even so, it deserves another thread in case someone out there hasn't seen it:

WORST PHOTOSHOP EVER. there's so much wrong with it. why would she camp next to piles of rubbish? why does the tent cast no shadows? is she about fifteen feet tall?

The Daily Mail says....

"Those who stayed away from the festival (it was the first time in 15 years that tickets hadn't sold out) because they felt rap (an 'art' form that is necessarily studio-based because it uses pre-recorded music and its 'artists' don't actually sing) was out-of-place at a rock festival were completely justified..."

so it must be right; lol


Mind you, from personal experience

I'd probably agree with this...
"it was like a giant, nightmarish, never-ending version of Camden Market"


Did she survive?

Given she's filed a retrospective report, I'd suggest so.


lol

although it looks so terrible they must have acknowledged that people would see it as a mock-up rather than an actual photo.

I would hope.


It's really fucking terrible,

but if you're going to mock something up, why that? It doesn't make sense...
You know what else doesn't make sense?
This...
"I have never knowingly opened a door without using my sleeve or the bottom of my T-shirt for fear of leaving smudged fingerprints." Wut?


This is the Daily Mail, remember

They've chosen to read yet another Person Not Of The Working Classes Stands Near Her Lessers In Glastonbury Mud piece, and as Mail readers they more than likely already see fashionistas as new Dianas, so their qualitative judgement is already screwed.


How many working class people go

to Glastonbury?


well, crime was up this year

so i guess quite a few.


ZING!

:D


the daily mail run this

story EVERY year. OMG, fashionista doesnt like muddy place! MIDDLE AGED LOLSSSS


HANG ON!

I GET IT!
It's a work of satire, right?
I've just left a comment on the article asking this, let's hope I get an answer!


Wow, that's.....

..I'm not sure what the word is. It's a bit like Nicolas Cage's acting- I'm not sure if it's meant to be so bad it's noticeable, or it really is trying to be convincing.


she's like the Hans Moleman of upper middle class women

a part of but permanently bewildered by the world.


she's josef k

with added gin and tonics


I doubt she's even upper-middle class.........

if she was she'd be writing for a broadsheet, she'll be from a semi in Swindon and lives in constant fear that people will find out.


Pompous

would be a more appropriate description of her I feel.


She's the perfect writer

for her massively cuntish target market.


ahahaha

someone has just pointed out to me that her surname changes in the caption to the first picture there :D


Seriously

"6th January 2008 - 'Rare is the school-age child in this country who has been allowed to experience hunger... I have a friend with three young children who admits to spending more than £400 a week on food. There is no longer any concept that you might make do towards the end of the week.'"


it's beautiful.

also, she MARRIED AN ETHNIC! who was 14 years young than her. eeww.


have you seen

Lowri Turner's article about how she struggled to bond with her baby because it was mixed-race? It's unbelievable. Makes Liz Jones look a paragon of sensibility.


Please find this

I'm speechless already.


voila:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-467787/I-love-mixed-race-baby--does-feel-alien.html

'"She's getting very dark, isn't she?" This is what one of my friends recently said about my much adored - 12-week-old daughter.

She didn't mean to be rude. But it was a comment that struck me with the force of a jab to the stomach.

Immediately, I was overwhelmed by a confusion of emotions. I felt protective, insulted, worried, ashamed, guilty, all at once. The reason? My lovely, wriggly, smiley baby is mixed race.'


Hahaha

"Now, I think of myself as pretty 'right on'. My home is on the border of the London Republic of Hackney. I've been to the Notting Hill Carnival, even if I found the music a bit loud."

"As for myself, there is an inescapable status issue to address. White women who have non-white children are stigmatised as 'Tracy Towerblocks' living on benefits, most of which they spend on lager and fags." :-OOOO

"If I wanted to pass us off as a nice, neat nuclear family, she would blow my cover at once."

"Part of me thinks I should be playing sitar music to her in her cot, mastering pakoras and serving them dressed in a sari, but that would be fantastically fake coming from me."

Absolutely incredible. I really hope her daughter never finds this later on in life. I can't imagine how that would feel.


:O


WHAT THE F...

...OK. That's not even funny, unlike the unintentional humour of the Glastonbury article. I hope her daughter never gets to see that, and if she does, she gives her mother the disowning she thoroughly deserves.


I can remember reading that a while ago

and found it to be really quite offensive. Vile, vile woman.


bloody hell

:(


hehe

When she was born, pale but with lots of dark hair, I asked the midwife if her eyes would stay blue. 'Asian genes are very strong,' she said in what I took to be an ominous tone.

Should I send that into photoshop disasters? She's clearly been pasted into that picture.


that picture is

what i meant!


Oh yeah.

I'm still hungover from last night and for some reason my work machine seems to be running like a slug. :(

Oh the apathy


all their comments are moderated

hopefully they've been snowballed with "is this real??" responses :D


this woman makes a living

from being a vacuous, self-absorbed idiot and proudly telling the world about it. She is the biggest waste of column inches in the history of the printed press


You seem like a decent person, Guntrip

but thanks to you there's a page from the Daily Mail in my browser history.

With an article like that, there's no point even starting, is there? They might, just MIGHT, have been having a laugh at her expense but even still...

I've got a Daily Mail-reading uncle and aunt, and even they found themselves watching the TV footage this year and thinking how much fun it looked.


Elsewhere on that site: Chloe Madeley

fap fap fap fap fap


she's.. um...

genetics has smiled on her. considering.


the comments are also great

"She looks perfectly ordinary to me. Not a patch on my daughter in law."


Liz Jones and Nirpal Singh Dhaliwal

are the worst people in the world. They're both completely horrific and insane. I can't make up my mind which one's worst.


That has made me very angry.

She sounds like on of those teachers you constantly want to punch in the face because they're so ignorant and stupid but have authority over you.


ohmyfuckinggod

that woman is just.... an absolute bastard.


10/10

:D


but does this really matter

this woman is obviously an irrelevance to most of the human race, i mean she has deliberately set herself out to be 'consiously different'....a freak, she probably detests the fact that she is an animal and has bodily functions, much of her lifes effort is probably dedicated to ensuring that her mind is not reminded that she IS and animal.

Basically what this woman needs is a tail.....to remind her what she is


It is ridiculous from start to finish.

"I hate it when stars do this, making us sing and wave our arms, when we have paid them to do the entertaining. It was truly dreadful."

The Mail is without the most hate filled newspaper in Britain.

A BLACK MAN? PLAYING SLAVE MUSIC? AT GLASTONBURY? GLASTONBURY IS NOT FOR COONS!


The bit about

Jay-Z being 'so political' is pretty funny.


I had to agree with that.

Political seems to mean songs about things other than pretty girls, sunshine and puppies.


!!!!!!!!!

"Passers-by (I'd call them people, but they are not that evolved)"

oh dear!


.

"Apart from the sea of litter that will cost £1million to clear up, and which made me feel like one of those children in Brazil who live on rubbish tips"

What a cock!


Ha!

What an utterly joyless woman.


No wonder

her husband left her, with her wheelbarrow of OCDS.


What a ridiculous woman

I hope next time she crosses the road she forgets to look.

However, Chloe Madeley:

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/07/03/article-1031713-01D7633300000578-544_468x831.jpg

wow.

My old English teacher, is her Auntie. Time to pay her a visit and remind her it was her favourite student.


now i know she looks like a strange man-girl

but thats no reason to call her 'it'. she has feelings too you know!


hahaha

this is ridiculous.


Unfunny journalists with no insight

should stop trying to be acerbic and outrageous, it's horrible to read.


Amazing.

28th December 2007 - Jones is writing about her new love interest 'I quite like him, mainly because, and I told him this, I didn't have to dumb myself down to be with him, something I often have to do with men because, the poor dears, they can't seem to cope with someone who is super bright.'


The worst use of brackets ever.

"I was able to crouch outside my tent (put up by me, after a great deal of phoning the Millets hotline, with no help at all from a trio of drunken men in the next row, and despite the useless, made-from-potato-starch, biodegradable, cow-friendly tent pegs provided on entry) and brush my teeth with my Philips Sonicare (which, being damp and lacking electricity, was on a bit of a go-slow) and rinse by swigging from a bottle of Pellegrino."


Compare this "I hate festivals" article

with Charlie Brooker's last year. It's totally shit. Just right for the Mail.
