Glad to see my favourite newspaper getting some international recognition.
Mind you, I only ever check it online, given up on the actual paper part!
From a UK point of view, the Daily Mail iPhone app made me laugh.
"while the Daily Mail recently pioneered an iPhone application providing users with a one-click facility for reporting suspicious behaviour by migrants or gays"
(For the benefit of our international viewers, the Daily Mail is one of the more scummy and hate filled parts of our national media.)

Tabloids are terrible for the news part, but quite good for their entertainment value. The idea that the newspaper has about all muslims being related to terrorism and that all teenagers frequently have knife fights at the end of your street is quite amusing, and even better that some people actually take that tripe for the truth

The Guardian is probably my favourite, too. :)
And yeah, I'm familiar with the Daily Mail..
Depressing, too, though, Joycey. =/

Just noticed you've put Geordie under your name... I actually work in Newcastle, the NUFC fans at work were all a little wierded out by Alan Shearer being named manager, and the first reports weren't until last night, so we were all wondering if it was another April Fools joke.
Seems its the real deal though!

I don't care how funny/unrealistically obvious this joke is, The Guardian still has bad typos.
