Front page horror pic
I can never understand the kind of reasoning that informs the content on the Daily Sun. Yesterday, I saw a front page picture of the daily - a gruesome picture of somebody whose face was burned.

And they just gave it to us as is, as s/he was lying in a hospital. I didn't read the story as I don't read the paper, but I think it's despicable. I'm battling to understand how any person can look at that pic and actually think it fit to publish on a front page nogal?

I believe it is disrespectful not only to the burn victim but to the people who read the paper. I don't care what the circulation figures say, the paper is pathetic!
