A bit of (non cycling) Daily Mail bashing anyone?

I swear I got this link from Facebook, honest!

An extremely inappropriate story planned by a Daily Mail journalist gets ripped to shreds by angry mothers. It's quite an entertaining read!

Wow, did Zoe misjudge her audience or what!

Yep.

On the plus side, her next story is about ignorant cyclists who ride in the middle of the road, and she'll be on here soon asking if any of us know any.

Excellent!

I will now declare a 1 month moratorium on saying anything negative about Mumsnet.

Here's a good tongue in cheek comment lifted for the thread:

"Those useless doctors using tax payers' cash to save lives. Vile NHS"

There are plenty of cracking subtle digs at the Daily Mail. My two favourites are:

"Zoe, I want to thank you, and I really mean it.

I've been thinking of writing an article for young girls to read, about how vital it is to find something to do with your life that you love, that's important to you and that you can derive immense satisfaction from. Even one that brings a little bit of good into your own wee corner of the world.

I'm inspired to get writing after reading your OP. I can send you a copy when I'm done if it would help you?

HTH"
Like sugar coated sweets laced with a laxative, that one. Or

"But I might be wrong. Maybe she was planning a balanced intelligent feature on how to make best use of the NHS.

I doubt it though. "
A little less subtle, but a nice punchline.

hahaha
Zoe I know it’s tough to find work, but surely you’re better than this? Do your parents know you work for the Daily Mail?

I love a bit of Daily Fail bashing.They are of the same firm who own the Bristol Post whom dislike cyclists and continually demonise us. The Daily Fail once tailed Jon Snow on his bike to see if he jumped red lights etc. Dreadful rag. Personally, I wouldn't wipe my a*** with it if it was the only paper on the planet.

That is an amazing thread.

I know a couple of people who regularly read the Daily Mail, but I can never get them to explain to me why

Simple: Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

You need to know what the bastards are up to.
