Those Cheeky Bastards Punked All Of Us

CNN and me and other semi-legit news outlets reported British tabloid The Sun was going to stop running topless models on their semi notorious Page 3, which was curious since this is the only thing they are known for. Turns out they were having a laugh. The front page of the new edition announced via pun they’d had a Mammary Lapse, and inside it was explained how they were actually shamelessly trying to get attention, just as they were when they started running hard to procure printed tits back in the day. In fact they will keep running the tits:

“Further to recent reports in all other media outlets, we would like to clarify that this is Page 3 and this is a picture of Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth. We would like to apologise on behalf of the print and broadcast journalists who have spent the last two days talking and writing about us.”

The great thing about the Internet is we can now find topless models who don’t look British regardless of what township we reside. The Sun may have succeeded in staving off their inevitable extinction for another few weeks, at which point I would advocate printing a spread eagle beaver shot of Queen Elizabeth on the final cover and going out Charlie Hebdo. Come on, I thought you guys were ballsy!
