tastes so good

hmmm...new found respect for someone most typically relegated to shitty-romance-actor-status.

love how the "journalist" slammed hugh's recording attempt. guess the pro's really know how to do it.

You have to respect the 'journalist' for the way he reacted to the first part - Hugh's role reversal - whilst despising him for his attitude and lack of humanity.

Hugh's last remark is a brilliant show of how to "damn with faint praise".

"you could probably do it"

Witty: check
English sarcasm: check
Good composure: check
Superb delivery: check

well played sir.

+1200 Respect points for Hugh Grant.

The Murdochs are worried by how far this one is backfiring on them. So they'll 'close' the paper mostly staffed by people who weren't there when all this hacking happened. They'll reassign the writers (not journalists) which they want to keep elsewhere, and probably expand another of their titles to fill the gap.

Complete PR exercise.

One paper got caught doing it, they say they all do it. I think if one "news" arm of a bigger company got caught, all of that company should be suspect and be investigated and penalized heavily. Heavily to the tune of "Earnings of each division that gets caught with it as far back as they can prove it in any one part to present for them all." They clearly profited from it. Whether they hired outside of their company for someone else to do the dirty work doesn't matter, if the company hires outside EXPECTING this to be done......it's really no different than hiring a hitman.

And it might actually happen...they got MS and them with some pretty good fines compared to what the US has. Although they might have too much corruption to really expose or fine for it all without exposing themselves.

And I don't believe for a minute they will close that paper and not relocate talent or open another "news" source to put them at.

I still hate Hugh Grant

Meanwhile, untold tragedies occur in Liberia where no stories reach the media. How dare you enjoy first world justice!

Actually, it's pretty gay that the paper is being shutdown. The "paper" isn't to blame, it's the idiots who did the hacking and allowed it to take place etc. There's people working for that paper who did absolutely sod all wrong who are gonna lose their jobs.

Calling that guy a journalist is offensive to journalists.

I'm glad it's closing.

You have to remember the kind of "journalism" this paper printed. Like the one with the woman with the extremely large breasts which she felt may have seriously injured someone else. In fact breasts, celebs and football were basically it's staple currencies. Job losses are always sad but we're not losing anything here. This was not a great paper. It was a reservoir of scummy journalistic practices. The current editor claims he ran a clean paper which is laughable.

Like many tabloids it practiced the "dark arts" with which they bent and broke the law to get stories. The Sun will replace it no doubt and I can only hope it won't be as bad. Murdoch claims the paper is "toxic" though it's been like that for many years. Hell you could claim The Sun is still toxic for their Hillsborough coverage.

This is a huge story and isn't being covered enough because Murdock owns a third of the press in this country. David Cameron is a scumbag for seeing no problem in hanging out with Brooks and attending NI's Eyes Wide Shut party. And he's still defending Coulson. Amazing. When you throw in the bent coppers this could be the most disturbing set of institutional corruption scandals we've seen since, oh, MPs expenses. As some one on twitter said, this is playing out like The Wire.

Well said Deano. Don't forget Fox 'News' and the BSkyB takeover that will let him dictate the message to 40% of (dumbass) brits, or the murdoch cancer spread to asia.
A british judge with the power to summon and hang is going to get a crack at him if his right wing political friends can be shoved out of the way, so we'll see if he can be beaten. Lets hope they can find all his Horcruxs.

this is an issue in its own right... im more concerned that putting someone on ignore means you still receive quote notifications with that persons text in ones email. fix?

Working as intended. Also, in case you forgot, I ignored you first and for good reason, so don't act as if you're the entitled one here. Your comment on the video of the kid giving the motivational speech was in poor taste. I felt like you abused your right to post by touting the torturous death of an innocent on a video of a living, happy child. While the cause you supported is righteous, the location of the post was not. Sorry if I wasn't explicit at the time. Now I'm posting in poor taste but at least it's not on a happy video.
