1. If your photog or layout people are so lame they had to have...

the models/blocking people for a story like that actually strip so they could get it right then get new photogs and layout people.

2. Oh, yes.

I would have loved to see her eyes when she read the statement.

"For anyone worried about whether we were forced against our will to strip off, we are pleased to be able to set the record straight. Please be assured, there is no cover-up at Wapping. It was a bit of harmless fun and we were delighted to have played our part in making the readers laugh," they said in a statement issued by the company.

"a bit of harmless fun" is the get out clause for voyeurs everywhere who like to reduce women, as Victoria Wood put it "to bits of gynecology".

4. Even if it was with consent, it doesn't say much for the newspaper!

If you must publish porn, at least don't call it a newspaper. (I nearly said 'don't dress it up as a newspaper' but of course the whole point is that they didn't!)
