Paul Russell: Pride coverage not appreciated
Hundreds of thousands of people turned out to watch Sunday's Pride parade in Toronto, which offered everything from bare-breasted lesbians to glad-handing (and thankfully, clothed) politicians. Despite the fact that this is the largest parade in Toronto's social calendar, our coverage of the event was modest, with a full colour picture tucked on to page seven in our Toronto edition. Nonetheless, that image, showing the backside of a barely dressed man displaying his assets to a audience of a cackling women, drew this angry response from a reader.
LEWD, VULGAR, EXHIBITIONIST, on both sides, those hanging out the meat and the dumb, vulgar masses watching. The National Post hit the low of a sleazy porno publication by the "eyeful" picture. It shows to what depths of dung we've descended... with room left to scrape the bottom.
