Lunch with Prole: pictures of people at festivals in the broadsheets

prole-art-threat [Edit] [Delete] 14:27, 16 June '08

Oh bless me I really think I've got my own column on DIS but but BUT i've been in the same room as Mike Diver AND I have Colin ROberts number AND a PM from Sean Adams - go me I'm the next George Lamb or something

ANYWAY - pictures of 'revellers' at festivals in broadsheets - ALWAYS either two girls outside a tent (breasts - tick/good looking - tick, legs on show - tick) or some girl arms aloft on someone's shoulder (breasts almost out - tick, armpits shaved - tick - posh irritating twat on gullible boyfriend's shoulder blocking someone's view of the bassist from the Feeling - tick).

Why then, unless it is some full time penis covered in mud (with added future e-coli) gurning with his mates, is it ALWAYS stereoptypical slightly posho 'fit' girls pictured, as if no other type of person actually attends and anyway these pictures don't even have a story just a lazy byline - is everything about sexiness just in case people won't be interested or older readers go puce at the
permissive generation?? Of course if it was a picture/pictures of percieved good looking men would that it was just aimed at the 'pink market'???

I hate the papers.
