    Surely there is more important things to start an e-petition for?

    I agree with the dont like it dont look brigade. I havent heard the girls are being dragged kicking and screaming to pose on page 3, so maybe the meddlers need to find out whats lacking in their own lives and concentrate on that.

    OH for heavens sake!What a waste of time.It won't be banned and the majority of people couldn't care less.

    Is this from some so-called 'feminist'?(who probably wouldn't understand feminism if her life depended on it)

    I don't suppose the girls who make a very nice living out of page 3 will be too chuffed that people want to take their livelihoods away.

    I just had a look and realised that this is a petition directly to the Sun, not as I assumed to the Government's e-petition website calling for it to be made illegal.

    Yeah, great idea - petition the paper directly. They're really likely to take it seriously!

    What a waste of time and effort.
  • If they ban all pictures of bare boobs in the Sun, the cover price will need to go up to about £6.50 to offset the loss of advertising revenue. There's one set of boobs on page 3, and about a million in the classifieds :D

    It never ceases to amaze me the amount of women that buy the Sun.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
