The Sun Keeps Page 3 Topless in Massive PR Stunt

The Sun Keeps Page 3 Topless in Massive PR Stunt
By Beaut.ie  | Jan 22, 2015

Just when you think civilisation is progressing….

After rumours circulated (via fellow News UK owned paper The Times) that The Sun had finally retired the 'institution' that was (and apparently unfortunately still is) the printing of topless models on page 3, the tabloid this morning went and printed this on the front page.

Yes, Page 3 is alive and well and sarcastic as hell. Not content with pulling the wool over everyone's eyes by printing a topless photo of a model winking at the camera, they also twisted the knife by calling out all the publications who talked up the 'retirement' of Page 3, with the head of PR for The Sun Dylan Sharpe calling out specific reporters and critics who hailed the end of the section.

The anti-Page 3 campaigners aren't taking the turn around lying down though, with the campaigners 'No More Page 3' responding with a petition to end Page 3 and thanking The Sun for the publicity.

We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see whether or not it was a once-off or a stunt, but somehow, considering how smug The Sun is being today, it might just be here to stay.

Well, Cllr Keith Redmond is probably happy about tit anyway.

Does this return of the topless pics make you feel like we're inhabiting a world that's going backwards? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
