Re: Inappropriate headlines
Ridiculous censorship here... either post the link or close the topic.

I think it was censored because it concerned an adult topic(even though it was on the front page of the Lancashire Telegraph) and this is a family forum. Hence the removal of the link.
But if you wanted to go back and look at the Lancashire Telegraph for Thursday or Friday last week then it would become evident what the post is about.
I hope this helps.

I think I know the one you're referring to here.
My son is 8 and reads the papers.
I've had to explain many a lurid headline that he's too young to know about really.
I don't think they realise that young children are reading them.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
I had to ask Gayle in the middle of a game of Scrabble, what the healine was about.
Although we are a family forum, with members having to be over twelve years of age to join, haven't we had serious debates on here about the subject involved?
It was certainly discussed in the recent thread about photographs on Facebook.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
ya know somat considering how many people buy their kids 18 rated games to keep them quiet like gta4 etc i think the headlines of a local rag are the least of the problems
most young teenagers with a ps2 or xbox will have played gta3 where one of the missions is to sleep with a prostitute then kill her to get your money back
my ex partner was physically threatened whe she refused to sell a 18 rated game to a womans child, the woman was annoyed that she had to get off her fat arse and come into town to buy it for him
the majority of 18 rated games end up in childrens hands , just because an adult bought it dosnt mean the adult will be playing it, i witnessed loads of parents buying games for their children who would run and pick up an 18 game and pass it to mummy or daddy to buy for them
sorry for the thread wander but although soem kids are not exposed to things like this a lot are already familiar with sex,violence,foul language and drugs before they even leave the house because parents buy them games containing these elements
not saying its right whatteh telegraph printed on its front page but its merely a drop in teh ocean

Let's hope the children don't read all the ads in the back of the Telegraph for prostitutes.

I think there are many positions offered.
It must be a bit confusing if you're looking for a new telly and you see a coloured tv offering money back if satisfaction isn't achieved.

Re: Inappropriate headlines
Mick intended to take the link out but put the text of the headline back in, but he forgot to do the latter. For those who haven't found out yet the headline was:
