    Again, where is the public interest in this story? It's prurient and horrid - gutter journalism imho.

    Having read all the posts, I still think it's gutter press journalism. However, donnac2558 nailed it - stupidity!

    Indeed.

    Designed purely to humiliate and give people who are so inclined to read such trash something to snigger at rather than have to think about how sad their own lives are.

    Maybe one or two on here need to ponder that....

    Time to climb off your high horse. The moral outrage of trash press etc. As for my sad little life, I do not need to ponder anything. A overweight MLA decided to send naked photos of himself to someone on a website. He was damned lucky as I said he is merely a laughing stock now up and down Ireland and not being blackmailed.

    He did it to himself as I keep insisting. No sympathy what so ever. But if you chose to hold his hand and oh you poor thing go ahead.

    Whats the old saying - "if you throw a stone into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that was hit?" ;)

    I take no pleasure in someone elses humiliation in the gutter press, clearly you're one of those people who enjoy repeating it and having a snigger.

    Yes , indeed. Only slim, fit, attractive people should be allowed to go naked. The obese must wear a burqa.

    An English mother has been arrested in Benidorm for abandoning her nine year old twins to go drinking. A good looking couple with a name associated with the banks of the Bann neglect their even younger children for the same reason and lose one of them. They're almost patron saints of tragedy.
    Strange. There's your message - you'd better be good looking.

    "Donna" has removed her earlier tyrade - maybe shes starting to see sense.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Indeed it is. This article was in the Sunday Life, but the Tele is no better (isn't the SL owned by the Tele?).
