That Telegraph piece is a mind-bending piece of conscious hypocrisy. "The only reason newspapers are reporting on this is because of sexism and prurience ... oh look, I'm reporting it in a newspaper too, perhaps if I acknowledge the sexism and prurience up front readers will give me a free pass when I indulge in them later on." (But then, a lot of Telegraph journalism is like this: too right-wing to avoid bigotry, but too intelligent not to be uncomfortable about it.)
Yes, this is why I find the Telegraph more readable than the Times - it is at least _intelligent_ bigotry, which means that so long as I filter out the bigotry I can find the writing interesting.
