I Hate Times of India - Obscene and Pervert

Tuesday 3 July 2007
I never read news papers on a routine basis.....reasons for it being.....

1. I hardly understand the stories which are chronic (because....I miss the past links to them, since again I don't read news papers that intensely.....even if I would read...I don't care a little to remember or discuss it....).....
2. I cannot stand politics. All politics bounce off over my head and I am least interested to comprehend it.
3. Not a business or marketing buff so don't care for business news either.
4. Sports is somewhat I can have a look.

just turning the pages and skimming through headlines is fundamentally "news reading" for me......

I am a Times of India (TOI) subscriber......which is supposedly the largest selling paper in India......but did you even think what makes it the largest selling newspaper? I don't mind really....what you think of me......but I say it upfront here......

They publish everyday atleast 10-15 semi nude photos......when I say semi nude....I unmistakably mean females.....of course they do contribute some nude pics of male models and actors.....bearing in mind that still a significant share of population reading TOI is of females......

So lets get to work to find out what lies where and why....
The paragraph below shows the brief rundown of TOI ideology:

1. On the front page......the left frame will usually have a 3"X3" pic of Hollywood actress exposing her assets.....or an intimate kiss of her with an actor.....or some super shaped model ramping on red carpet.....now that's the eye catcher.....the objective of getting attention on to TOI Vs other news-papers is over......Kudos TOI!!!

2. Now that, say by some chance, the paper has been folded reverse......and what is visible to you is the back page.....no worries though.......the back page still will be having atleast two pics (4" X 7") of international models/pop singers....... either in swim suit or in some other costume which, I challenge, can comfortably fold and accommodate in my jeans pocket....

3. If accidentally you turned pages and landed to sports page (presumably not expecting a stripped women there....).....and to add to your luck......there you may get some bonus pics of Sharapova, Martina or our desi Sania with their skirts up, (apparently revealing whatever lies beneath that) showing their cleavage, bums or any other organ segments which emphatically claim their 101% nymphal composition.....

4. hhhhmmmm....that seen and satiated......you might want to move on to international pages.......and there are every chances that you would counter some sex stimulating bare backs and legs.......hollywood actresses are awesome....they give everyone an eyeful ;)......

5. Wait......your biggest eye treat is still awaiting your sight......The Hyderabad times.........(or shall I call it The Pornographic times?)......flip to any page and you'll find ladies in all possible revealing costumes......glance through each of them.....till you feel satiated.....after all that's what you are paying for......nude pics......and insane vulgar articles.......have fun!!!


Ok....chalo.....enough of sarcasm....having read this......do you really think TOI is a paper sufficiently worth your subscription? especially when you are staying in a family....where every one is habituated of reading it?

Some serious questions!

Do you want your kids to have a habit of reading news paper daily?
Do you really look forward to handing them over The Pornographic times and ask them to make it a second nature to read that CRAP piece daily?
Have you thought what impact an explicit sex article can cause to your or anybody's children?
To some extent the articles or text matter with Vulgar sexuality can be overloooked but what about the obscene pics?
How you think you or your family will keep off their eyes from those revealing images that induce sexuality?

I read the below two articles and I am very much offended and displeased with TOI after seeing their way of presenting the facts..........The below article is sheerly 3rd grade and is written in a very vulgar way and I feel may be some sex magazine is a right place to publish it....and to my utter suprise it has been written by a lady..........

check the image with the article.......a complete nude lady......thank god it was a painting and they didn't paste a real nude photograph......

The article below is ok.....no comments on articl....but the image accompaining the article is completely redundant.....absolutey redundant......seems it has been placed to just draw attention of readers.....

I wonder how can a news-paper base on sexuality for sales? and how it still goes un-noticed by people......to me it's quite apparent that they are making more money by just publishing obscene pics and in-appropriate sex contents....why we don't find this trend in The Hindu.....as what I have known about a news paper is, it should deliver what's happening round the world.....with one or two file picture.....(that too.....if necessary).....why the heck on the earth they need to paste sex inducing photos of actresses.....when they have very little to write about them??



I am really sick of Times of India making their news paper more like a sex magazine...I am better off purchasing a Debonair instead of reading TOI.....

People let's not encourage such practices.....let's be fair and rule out TOI.....and its monoply.....

your thoughts?

    Try asking a photographer which pictures get him the highest buck !?!?!

    No prizes for guessing the answer!

    I don't know...but most of the photos they use are usually taken from celebs' wallpapers.....

    Thanks for comments though :)
