Slagging off the sexually voracious
Article Abstract:
The portrayal of women on television in the UK seems to be a very confused issue. It is apparently acceptable to show brainless, half-dressed women on car advertisements, for example, but there was a public outcry about an advertisement featuring two cartoon women known as the 'Fat Slags.' It can be argued that the cartoon women are in fact much more appealing than those who are often seen in car advertisements. They are liberating, as they are not very concerned about being overweight, and they have the confidence to express their views openly.

Men say one thing and do another - please, tell me something I didn't know
Article Abstract:
Journalist Paul Johnson, who has for many years placed strong emphasis on the importance of family values, has admitted to being unfaithful to his wife. However, he still genuinely seems to believe in family values. It is perhaps time that he considered giving up writing, given that he has shown himself to be hypocritical and that his views are consistently wrong. He has been particularly misguided in involving himself in efforts by UK Prime Minister Tony Blair to reduce cases of family breakdown.
