i used to buy the "current bun"(whatever the hell they call themselves that for I'll never know) every day on my way to work. one day after reading all the news out of it in around 10 minutes i had a think to my self and came to the conclusion that it litterley is not worth the paper it is printed on. 10 pages of celebrity drivel followed by around 5 worthy news stories on a good day.
we the public are partly to blame as we seem to have become a nation obsessed with money and stardom. Robbie Williams was a very lucky boy who was in the right place at the right time and with the right management, stylists and song writers. when you see some of the stuff that's going on in the world you find it hard to feel sorry for Robbie and his ilk. too much money and not enough common sense is all that's wrong with him. maybe a few years on living on the breadline would get his priority's right.
move to the broadsheets and you might just be better served with your news needs.

no offense here, but do you honestly believe everything you read in the newspapers, or see on the Television News?
jounalists are in the business of selling the paper, they will often make up a story to go with a paparazzi photo that may have come in the day before or weeks earlier.
unless you have heard the words from the so called celebs mouth don't believe a word of it.
for the record no i have not seen the newspaper article. I stick to news on the TV and online. newspapers are a waste of money (in my opinion).
as for robbie sadly he is percieved to be more news worthy than a sick child which is in general not the papers fault but you society as a whole.
Personally I don't care one way or the other about robbie, he is a multi-millionaire he is alleged to be addicted to one type of drug or another and is in rehab, he has the money to kill himself on that crap so let him. why should the public give a crap he is doing that to himself allegedly. The Sick kid is sick through no fault of it's own. so my sympathy is with the kid and it's parents and other family members.
i agree on the priiorities point but the sad truth is it is the general public and robbies millions of fans that are the reason behind the paper giving the story top billing over a sick kid (which as you can tell disgusts me). So if you want to blame anyone blame robbies fans for the billing the storey (fiction or not) that you read in the paper. until a story has been confirmed by at least three preferably four or five independant sources it should be given no relevance and should be treated like a work of fiction as that may be all the story is 90-100% pure fiction.

First of all you should be smart enough not to read the SUN because as we all know its just a bullSh*t paper. Why don't you start reading more intelligent newspapers and stop complaining. You must not have a clue about the worlds problems with drug abuse! Have you ever stopped and thought about how that one article might have stopped someone from using or make a former drug addict think that even famous people with a "perfect" life made a mistake and even they can get through it???

Its hardly Robbies fault that he is bigger news than the poor little child. Its all down to the Sun snoozepaper. Its them that are to blame.
Oh and the bluddy british public who buy the papers. The Sun knows what will sell papers more. Robbie not a poor child. I agree it makes me sick too. But not so much Robbie, more the media.

If you want to read about important issues in the world, you made a mistake bu buying the Sun. The broadsheets (Times, telegraph, Guardian) or the economist will give you a more relastic picture of the world.

I totally agree - but we must blame to some extent the media. They blow up things out of proportion just to sell copy. It is tragic that a spoilt drug addled popstar - or any other spoilt popstar get their names splashed all over the tabloids. But, it's the people who buy their rubbish who are also to blame.
Let's just be satisfied and call it human nature.

Why do you read the sun? as a newspaper it is utter rubbish.
As for RW, just ignore he is part of the human race... He seems to be an attention seeking little idiot.
