It has launched many careers down the years such as Samantha Fox in the 80's and Jo Guest and Melinda Messenger in the 90's aswell as some of the babes that currently grace our screens.

I personally don't see this latest campaign going far at all. If you don't like that page then nobody is forcing you to look at it. I don't give one fuck about horoscopes, maybe I should start a campaign claiming that it's a dark art akin to witchcraft and should also be ended.

Bottom line is, let and let live and mind your own fucking business

Certainly Melinda Messenger, Linda Lusardi and Jayne Middlemiss became popular figures on mainstream tv.

I haven't seen page 3 in years so if they got rid of it I wouldn't notice but it's the same old arguments about the harm it supposedly does with absolutely zero evidence to prove that.

One of the main ones they continually put forward is young girls insecurities when they see those pictures. It's a fact of life that teenagers are insecure about almost everything. I'd suggest that showers after PE lessons in school cause far greater trauma to kids that age than a pair of tits on page 3.

No prizes for guessing what would be next in the campaigners sights if they were to win this battle.
