Independent dubs El Reg lesbian
We at El Reg have been called a fair few things in our time, but never before has it been suggested that we are dedicated practitioners of the Sapphic arts. Well, it was only a matter of time, and readers are invited to have a shufti at this piece from the Independent, which earlier today examined in some depth the Lesbian …

Go on Reg !
Can we see some girl on girl action ?
PS Nice girls though, not the ones that should be doing bricklaying or Ann Widdecombe lookalikes !
Paris ? Yes please !
Oi wheres the links
If Andrew has been putting pen to paper, of what ever passes for writing these day. We his loyal readership demand links to it.
I wouldn't mind being branded a Lesbian . . . .
So what does it take to qualify as a Lesbian .....
Lusting after sexy ladies
Having facial hair
Having hairy legs perhaps........
Therefore by definition I must be a Lesbian
I am a 42 year old father of one, happily married so perhaps not ?
Paris . . . . cos she may well star in a nice girl on girl flick some time
Mine are the dungarees - off to the pub now for a pint !
I've read some funny things in El Reg over the years..
..but this one will take some licking!
indy madness
Broadlysheet, what a pathetic load of pap - do they get paid for that rubbish.
Paris, could she could do better (at both the article writing and the Mytilenian stuff).
IndescribablyBoring..
looks to me like the paper that nobody reads is trying to up its circulation with sleazy stories at the expense of the Reg!
If it was the General BelGrauniad you would have been *lensbais*
If it was the Torygraph you'd have been fine because they don't know what lesbians are.
If it had been the Dirty Digger's Times, it would have read "Corrrrrrr! Online Mag El Reg Sucks Up to Lissome Lesbians in Shock Scandal!" (or something equally restrained)
Paris because I heard her on the radio this morning, nowt to do with my sexual fantasies, I just liked her song - a bit)
independEnt?
in keeping with their standards of research and sub-editorship, should you not reciprocate in! yahoo! style! by always referring to the Independant?
Proof - if proof were needed
We've known for years that Lester has a predication for ropes and rubber - are these events connected in some way, I wonder?

Sorry to say this: I think you might have weakened your case against the Indy. I suggest the patented disk-crusher recently mentioned deserves an outing...
Why PH? Because I'm sure she'd... no, better not.
An example of...
...poor researchers posting incorrect information as fact!
This is why I do not read the tabloid press - they cannot even get a simple girl-on-girl story right!
Paris Hilton?
But not as popular as penetrating Paris Hilton...
'give the lot of 'em a good licking'
I hope this was an intended joke and my mind isn't worse than i thought.
Aaahh.
They were probably reading some of the threads on the comment boards. Plenty of 'girl on girl' action there...
Yes, mines the kevlar one with the stab-proof hood...
It's the Indy though...
<rant>
As much as I "like" paper (in that it's the only one I can stand to read) I've noticed their hacks cannot cope with any science/technology of any sort, and will always get it wrong - even in their Sci/Tech/Business articles.
The SIndy had a four page spread on the dangers of t'internetting - that was almost as funny as some of the Reg's friday Pub-lishings.
Do you think they even bothered to open up the page, or just stole a quote from google?
</rant>
I for one would not have any problems with 'L' Reg branching out in order to appeal to a wider demographic.
(Hehe... did you notice the pun there... didya? didya?... Ahem...)
All publicity...
is good publicity. So they say.
It's just a shame the 'Phorm' story isn't getting the same coverage!
Of course, if it were to involve some 'girl-on-girl' action, as opposed to just another "big business screws joe public" scenario, then maybe they'd get interested.
Oh man...
We're going to be drowning in poontang now we're all lesbians!
I'll still keep buying the Indie though - it has 4 sudokus and a crossword! - and I'll keep coming here for real news.
@ Tawakalna:
If you honestly enjoy Paris' aural offering, might I suggest "Kingston Town" by UB40. It has essentially the same chord sequence and rhythm but without the attendant problems of making me want to stab someone in the eye.
hit them back
how about hitting them back?
to everyone that's using an on-line public bookmark service, like del.icio.us: please bookmark http://www.independent.co.uk/ under the keywords "lesbian on-line magazine"
let's see how they like it.
/Hoists the pirate flag on this occasion. Arrrrrr!
Independant in talking shite shocker
Well, not a shocker really.
I read the Indy when I want to get angry about something. I could just read the Daily Mail/Express, but frankly I prefer to peruse something that has been written for someone who's mental age breaches double figures. Even if it's only just.
Anyway, I'm all up for more penetrating lesbain debate. How about a video interview with some leading lesbians. Preferably on tarpaulin. With an oil shower. And cucumbers.
Paris. Well, obviously.

Sauce for the vulture
Looks like L. Reg is about to get a load of new readers. Former Independent readers.
Don't understand....
..thought you were based in London, not Lesbos.
Priceless
You got to love half assed (or is it pissed and got a deadline reporting) but now I have to worry about my boss catching me reading a lesbian on-line magazine.
Paris as we all want some girl on girl action with her.
New name?
From "El Reg" to "Les Regs"?
Paris on the banner, instead of the vulture? Go on - I dare ya!
G'is the one with the hankies in the pocket. Don't care if it's not mine.
Revenge....
Simple. In the next 'extreme porn' story just refer to the Indy as a "specialist donkey-fetish magazine"
Stars of the show
This being the Reg it would star Paris and the Eee Pee Cee girl, shirley?
@ Ideala2
The Indy wasn't too bad while Charles Arthur was there. Since then it's just awful for tech.
I always assume that the 10 best of anything for stuff I don't know about (say ladyhair removers or coffee tables) are going to be largely crap. This is based on the observation that if it is something I know something about, they're usually wrong. As well as the best budget pick often costing more than I'd spend on said object in the first place).
Even better
... the article is held in such high esteem that it is an "Editor's Choice"
Who wants to bet that the editor was about 4 lines of code looking for recent articles with more than 20 words in?
Am I missing something?
Where is the secret area of the site? The Indi is never wrong!
Ah!
I thought so. I'm obviously a lesbian trapped in a man's body
@ Carl Marshall
OMG. I just read this as:
Who wants to bet that the editor was about 4 lines of <<coke>> looking for recent articles with more than 20 words in?
I nearly p*ssed myself.
Paris obviously.
Perhaps they have misunderstood the El Reg journalist's names?
Lester Haines, Sarah Bee and Ashley Vance:

Re: Perhaps they have misunderstood the El Reg journalist's names?
I'm speechless.
Can you blame them
With all the crap you cover can you blame them for mistaking a supposed IT publication for something else?
Re: Can you blame them
>>With all the crap you cover can you blame them for mistaking a supposed IT publication for something else?
Yes. Yes we can.
Water-restraining devices
Sounds like we need a few articles on the latest Dutch advances in holding back the sea.
I hope my IT department doesn't read the Indy, otherwise we'll find that access to the site gets blocked as unsuitable.
Seems the Indy has changed the article...
The final para now reads: (and I quote)
Now, an on-line magazine called The Register...
</coat>
A name change is in order then
...from El Reg to The L Word Reg.
Hmmm...
The story now calls El Reg just an online magazine. Now it's just insulting. :P
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/europe/who-are-the-real-lesbians-821610.html
I wouldn't worry about it...
...the Indy was obviously making a 'tongue in cheek' comment...
I wouldn't have believed it
But it is Wednesday, and there's an actual link to it on their 'site.
I'm almost speechless as to how terrifyingly amusing this is.
Just, haha, I can't think of it. How is it possible to respond to something that is described as credible without checking it out?
How can anyone fail to possibly spot that this 'site is definitely not a Gay 'site?
Journalism, there is none.
Present company excepted.
/specs 'cos of not actually reading something before reporting.
"lads mags"
So y'all really enjoy analyzing artwork which ladies-loving-ladies would find finger-licking delicious...
Boffin, 'cause that's what I am.
OK Which idiot got them to change the article...
...
...
...
ermm me..:D
Icon:
Grabbing my coat and doing a runner...
@Bill Cumming
Errrmmm... shouldn't there be a comma after "Bill"?
Or is it that Bill *hasn't* been emotionally stimulated by all the references to lesbian (Lesbian??) sex... ?
Speechless Sarah Bee
She just can't believe she's been rumbled.
She's the first of a wave of Lesbian Battle Clones deployed undercover to slip inside El Reg.
OP now corrected by Indie

Satire label - Cringeworthy
This is clearly Lesbian retaliation for Lester Haines article 'Gay Americans favour hybrid electric vehicles' in which he insultingly refers to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community as GLBT instead of the correct LGBT. The lesbians always come first ! If in doubt, googlefight - LGBT 7,700,000 results, GLBT 5,590,000 results
Roger Alton is to newspaper owners what Paris Hitlon is to newspaper editors. He has whored out the Observer and worthy journalists like Richard Ingrams went to the Indy just to avoid him. If anyone writes to the Indy again please forward this previous related Register article -
Harvard Man in lesbian mix-up wants satire clearly labeled

it this a record
for the biggest number of paris icon's in a comment thread???
... and yes, I'll add to it :D
