No.

They should be trailed 24 hours a day by a camera crew and appear in a docu-drama entitled 'Those Who Can't, ?'.

A bit subtle I know, but I'm drunk.

what intrigues me is that is pretty much a UK phenomena - there's no equivalent mass circulation Sun / Mirror / News of the World / etc in other countries (certainly not in this part of the world).

What is it, in the UK psyche, that needs to feed off other people's tragedies so openly?

There u are Astraboy - point for discussion

The Times is a tabloid, it's just bigger than most.

It is something in the British mentality: Victorian papers were full of (and noted for) their mixture of moral outrage and prurient ****, i.e.:

"My Footballer Gang-Bang Hell" by sexy Tracey, pictured scantily-clad next to the article
