As Daily Mail campaigns against online porn, Mail Online story url promises ‘nipples’ and ‘tight pink bikini’

I wholeheartedly back the Daily Mail’s campaign for a new system requiring internet providers to filter out online porn.

And I know ‘Block Online Porn’ is aimed at stronger stuff than the glamorous images routinely on display at Mail Online, but I do wonder sometimes how closely Mail editor Paul Dacre looks at his wildly successful online stablemate. Does he know that a good deal of its content consists of copious quantities of raunchy pics showing scantily clad women cavorting on beaches? Examples here and here from today.

The SEO-friendly url for the latter piece tells us a lot about the news values of Mail Online, it reads: “Maria-Fowler-courts-attention-Marbella-beach-exposes-nipples-tight-pink-bikin”.

Let he is without sin and all that.
