The respected and informative
Daily Sport has been
censured by the Press Complaints Commission for publishing a list of the ten sites in Britain most favoured by suicides. The Commission ruled that the article "treated a serious subject in a light-hearted manner and may have glamorised suicide in the eyes of some readers". Suicide, as we all know, is a gratuitous and inexcusable waste of valuable human resources, and can lead to delays on the London Underground. Now, if we could only get the media to stop glamorising war, politicians, cars, television and royalty, perhaps we might begin to progress.
