iPod Gets The Royal Nod

Posted by Zonk on from the scott-thompson-makes-a-good-monarch dept.

frostilicus2 writes "Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England seems to have taken quite an interest in technology recently. She's now getting hip and funky with an Apple iPod." From the article: "If the thought of the Queen trolling through Apple's online jukebox, iTunes looking for 'hits' is a little too much for the frontal lobes, the Sun assures its readers that, like most things, she probably has a footman to do it for her."

    I think its probably about time to point out that The Sun is a brand of toilet paper with funny pictures and words printed on it to entertain while you take a dump. To quote it in with any seriousness outside the bathroom just isn't done.

    The only thing wrong is expecting any kind of journalism from The Sun, let alone 'top quality' journalism.

    This is the sort of paper that uses bold and italics in its editorials, just to make sure you get the point.

    Enough said, I think.

    Better the Sun than the Mail.

    The Sun is knowingly, amusingly and mostly-harmlessly lowbrow. Sure, it prints a load of rubbish, but it knows that just as well as we do, and nobody takes it too seriously. The Mail is poisonous, self-important and comes damn near to inciting hate crime imho.
