British Press, right until you need to push your latest book, film, whatever.
Why do you people always blame the bloody press, they only write the crap they do because British idiots buy it. It sells newspapers, and it has done since Fatty Arbuckles day.
Who are "you people", out of interest? Actually this was quite an effective use of social media, it took less than ten hours to get the caption changed. Of course, too late for print, but then that will already be Fatty Arbuckle's chip wrapper.
People Like Cleese that make snide comments about the British press and then use them when ever it suits their needs, conveniently ignoring the British public that buys their spew. Like many rich expats, they seem to delight in taking the piss out of the old country in an attempt to enamour themselves to the vox pop in their new domicile.
Sure, but I think you're confusing "people like" with Mr Cheese. John always takes the piss, so nothing new there, and he also takes the piss out of America, France, Sweden, New Zealand, you name it. He's pretty even handed in fact when it comes to taking the piss with no apparent urge to ingratiate.
Supply and demand. Its an overheard and overdebated topic: Do the people buy crap because its what they are offered or are the tabloids catering to the taste of the public. Chicken vs egg, you decide. for me its a tired argument though, nothing new here.
