The Sun newspaper drops some acid, officially shits its pants
Normally I'd wish to avoid this poisonous Murdoch rag as the filth it is, but the Wednesday front cover is...well, just take a look for yourself.

Done laughing? Lovely. Quite why they've chosen now to print the newspaper equivalent of The Day Today's emergency broadcast film I'm not entirely sure - distraction from the numerous Murdoch sexual rumours perhaps - but the extravagant weirdness of the spectacle is interesting at least. Right?
Looks like a quiz
I like the cheeky little dalek next to the eden project
lolwut
hopefully you can click this

it looks like someone started playing Sim City for the first time without doing any tutorials
I thought the Millennium Dome was supposed to be shite
and who's that coming out of that building above it? Is that Lampsy?
Is this their paywall launch?
"A physical copy of our paper is now so humiliating to be seen carrying you might as well pay for it online instead. Go on."
It's just totally inexplicable,
And you have to wonder what crisis or bad news story has prompted it.
Unless they're kicking off their party political broadcasts very early, the timing seems really off as well.
Quite like the "What the fuck am I reading" pose the woman in the bottom right has adopted
it's weirdly self-referential
easyjet!?
flying dangerously close to that wind turbine
(intentionally??)
heh

:D
One ex-NOTW journo isn't getting the joke...

Tee hee.
:D
What is the significance of the onions?
odd
wait is that john terry middle right?!
also i don't recognise a worrying amount of things there
why is any of it there though?
is there a story behind it?
odd
Rupert Murdock has been fucking Rebecca Brookes, who in turn has been fucking his son,
and Rupert Murdock's wife has been fucking Tony Bliar, in some sort of bizarre sex cult, inexplicably linked to Operation Yewtree.
It's a distraction piece, basically.
WABZNASM
So, when's the Scottish referendum again?
It's ok, I found the reason:

I also see that Eamonn Holmes groped his wife on the This Morning some TV sofa.
I like what you've done with the URL
HOW HOW HOW?
it works with all Mail URLs
as long as you leave everything up to "article-<number" alone, you can write whatever you want at the end
This is basically The Sun's equivalent of this, isn't it?

Let's hope cowcow doesn't go and tell Murdoch as Thursday's edition is due to play In Da Club upon purchase.

The Sun about to pick a fight with The Mail?
And the Gov. over internet curbs etc in an attempt to win back some public good will?
It's either that or it's a (unexpectedly) piss-poor reaction to the Bradley Manning conviction.
I can't think of anything else Tech related that's that big news.
Note in the inclusion of The Liver Building
Cheeky sods
It appears to be raining quite heavily on Liverpool & Blackpool
No Sun for 'the north'
*stands up*
*sings national anthem tearfully*
Oh wow
That cricket ball's the size of the Houses of Parliament.
Finally! I've been waiting for silly season to start, I think this officially must be it.
See you in mid-September, actual news!
You could just look at that instead of ever listening to Al the Pub Landlord ever again
and it's much cheaper.
2002(approx): Joel Veitch marvels the world with cats dancing to Beyoncé on rathergood.com
2013: The Sun copies the aesthetic; everyone laughs.
On the top of the white cliffs of dover
there appears to be a man throwing rocks into the sea. I like to think he is screaming 'fuck off' at foreigners. Glorious.
I'm more concerned about the 100ft tall Mr Bean myself.
Wait til you see inside and the Sun's "Where We Stand" article on health, welfare, immigration, defence etc.
Great DiS troll bait.
Nobody here is going to see the inside of The Sun are they?
its online
behind a paywall
Not until tomorrow
Oh well...
I actually really love this
Its pretty tongue in cheek. The Mr Bean at the bottom made me crack up, as did the picture of John Terry.
If the Sun's mission statement
is to admitt they are a pratfalling comedy rag, then I'm all for it.
The Sun's been rumbled!
they walked into the wrong bar
in the wrong part of time
*hangs up gun holster, leafs through case files*
:D
Haha, they are and they know it.
I just view this from the perspective of imagining being in the meeting where the cover was planned :')
What's the building far left, just up from the middle, next to the ambulance?
Welsh Assembly building?
Millennium Centre in Cardiff
That's the fella.
Welsh parliament, I reckon.
Not the most common view of it though.
Nope, the Millennium Centre
and its a front on view of it
Well that'll learn me to refresh before posting.
The le tourneoi building
in wales I believe
Gonna be ahead of the murdoch tapes being finally released innit?
super cluster fuck
my money's on this for sure
plus, I think I read somewhere that they're going to relaunch News of the World online
gonna get this whole cover tattooed on my chest
Brief comment on this:
http://www.theguardian.com/p/3hkpj
roy greenslade usually on the money yeah
Everyone seems to be quite excited about this
the sun doesn't really have the target audience for digital does it?
probably why they're trying to convince the readership that it's the patriotic thing to pay money to read the paper online.
Struggling to spot what cliches they've missed.
James Bond's car, page 3, a fry up, Emeli Sande. That's it so far.
