The lighthearted and/or massively sexist tradition of the Page 3 Girl might finally be on the way out, with octogenarian Twitter nutcase Rupert Murdoch claiming he’s “considering” issuing the order to have his girls put them away for good.
Murdoch’s tweet on the matter seems to suggest that Page 3 will remain in some form, though, with the mad old mogul suggesting there might be a halfway house solution offering photos of “glamorous fashionistas” with their clothes mostly on instead of the paper’s usual Essex-based teens with their baps mostly out.

I never understood why they had a naked woman on page 3, are they even allowed to do this with a paper so easily available for anyone to purchase regardless of age?

Goodbye Page 3 Stunna. Hello Page 4 Phwoarrrh?
Seriously, I just don’t care whether a rag I don’t read has boobies in it or not.
Much of the readership will be up in arms… well, arm.
With that headline and that picture, I thought it was saying Murdoch was putting out a hit on Sam Fox…seemed a bit harsh!
