Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex.
I am absolutely disgusted and appalled.
Those of you who know me fairly well know of my opposition to the Gazette, my university newspaper. I'd heard tell of their Valentine's issue, but I didn't expect what met my eyes when I went to pick up today's Gazette in search of some news on the student elections.
I am going to warn you now that the content of this entry is very explicit, which is why I will be placing it under a cut. But I'd like to comment on how inappropriate and how thoroughly disgusting it is when a so-called "newspaper" sinks this low.
This is the front page. Now, I'm sure the editors would say, "Don't like it? Don't pick it up." Well, I'm sorry. I didn't pick it up. I walked into University College on my way to French class when I HAD to come face-to-face with this disgusting display of soft-core pornography. Several students were gathered in the entry hall, reading the paper. and this disgusting image was shoved in my face. Who are the girls? All friends of the editors. They aren't really lesbians either. But the editors are male, and the news editor is the first to admit that that's one of the reasons why no half-naked boys are featured in this article unless they're pictured with a naked girl.
The first article when the paper is opened. I think it's very obvious why I have a problem with this one. One, that's two girls pictured in a very explicit position. Two, the girl performing the almost-sex act is topless (her hair is covering her back, but you'd be able to tell if she was wearing a bra). Three, she's wearing a thong. And four... they're in a bedroom. Not to mention the fact that the entire article is about why guys LOVE LESBIAN PORN, and why girls hate gay porn.
This is why I hate society right here.
A few more articles sloshed together. One, that girl's boobs are way too big not to have to be contained within a bra. Notice she's wearing the Tiffany Heart, which, at my university, is most often a symbol that you're easy if you're wearing it. Very subtle... but we all catch it if we know anything about anything.
Below is an article on breaking up. It talks about having break-up sex. Then there's the picture of the topless, nearly-naked girls. There really are no naked boys in this issue of the Gazette. There are two half-naked ones, and they're both pictured in sexy positions - one in simulated sex with a girl, and one having his pants pulled off by a girl. Both girls are, of course, topless and nearly naked.
The article below that is entitled, "Drunken Sex - the best kind". It talks about the different kinds of sex you can have - shower sex, middle of the night sex, drunken sex, quickie sex, etc. Now that is news.
Even the sports pages show athletes doing sexy things. This entire paper is a farce - they call themselves a "newspaper", but there is no news in the entire thing. There is one blip about Dubya, but it also talks about sex. Sex Issue, indeed. Blowjobs, quickies, places to have sex around campus, pornographic cartoons, lesbians, boobs, penises, vibrators, FLAVOURED LUBRICANT TASTE-TESTED BY THE FEMALE STAFF?
I have no words. I really have none. I can't express how utterly disgusted I am. I am outraged. I really am. And the editors had better hold on, because they are getting one hell of an angry email from me. And when I'm angry, I don't joke around. I go right for the jugular, and I show no mercy.
Watch out, Gazette. You're going to have a hell of a difficult time "shafting" me after this.
