I can remember when I was a teenager you were absolutely gaurenteed to get a lovely meaty,naked soft porn model showing off her bare arse.It was such entertainment.
But now,all that you get in it is c*** articles about things that don't matter,loads of advertisements and pictures of women that can't even give me an erection anymore let alone shoot the pages with c**!!!
WHAT'S GOING ON!!Somebody tell me!!

The Daily and Sunday Sport has become just one large advert. Every page seems to be filled with them. Even the photos of the page 3 girls they use are now just an excuse to advertise "photos to your mobile phone.They use the same photos of the models over and over again. Lets face it, it was never intended to be a quality publication but it was a great place to see gorgeous page 3 girls. The girls are still gorgeous but as I say we see the same old photos time after time

Chav culture is what's going on. By crap articles I presume you mean some kind of monumentally inconsequential bollocks about who said what to whom on the previous evenings riveting episode of 'Big Brother'? Or maybe it was a photo spread of some seriously crap model in a lairy pose with the Chavey regulars of a local boozer in Barnsley?
And the sort of birds they front you up with now, are they taking the piss, or what? You could easily condense them all down to a generic scrawny, scraggy, badly dressed, bottle blond, with lifeless, straight, plastered down hair (and a suggestion that the ends were hacked off with shears) pierced naval, and barbed wire tat on arm, and maybe even 'pudding basin' tits. There would also be the smirking suggestion from the morons who pass as journalists and editorial staff that this wonderful vision of femininity, this supreme object of male desire, also 'shaved her under beard'.
I used to take the Sunday Sport, just to keep 'abreast' of developments in the adult scene. Indeed, in years gone by, my colleagues and I took substantial (full page) advertising space in it. But it was a year ago now that I finally got sick of it and couldn't stomach it any longer. I felt affronted by it. Affronted by the increasingly moronic articles, and affronted by the kind of birds they were suggesting I might find attractive. I felt they were taking the piss. So, with a sense of melancholy that one feels for the passing of a golden age, I stiffened my resolve, marched smartly down to the newsagents and instructed Mr Patel to cancel my copy forthwith. I was going to write to 'Diddy Dave' outlining the reasons I could no longer support his rag, but what good would it do? Chav culture and the Chav look are endemic, all mainstream publishers are guilty, they're a load of cynical tossres who haven?t got a creative idea or alternative vision in their filberts. They just look at the Chav's, Chav fashion and Chav mores in all the other mags and on TV and feel they need to copy that, because if their mag is different to the perceived norm, they believe that no one will buy it (and they can't think of anything else to put in it anyway).
Officer Dibble ? trusting the age of the Chav will pass swiftly.

"Affronted by the increasingly moronic articles"
And seeing as the Sunday Sport started out with 'Elvis found in London Bus on the Moon' the articles must have become really moronic.

Never heard of ambiguity levels of meaning and post moderninsm. Yes the Sport used to be hysterically funny , and written by guys who were let off the lead to do Dada journalism and couldn't beleive what they got away with in dumbed down Britain.
Well the caravan moves on , and the porn end of that Empire is being run down and used as a cash cow to get the serious end to fly , well attempt to ...
I have to say that as a joke the sport was wearing a bit thin so it's no loss.

The Sport may have many faults, but at least it's light-hearted enough to not take itself seriously, as do all the other scum-bibles. And some of the columnists, who unlike on the other daily's, seem to speak their minds and get closer to the truth than those in the "serious" tabloids.
