Eerie pictures show former film sets used in famous westerns now lying ruined in Spanish desert http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2402628/The-Good-Bad-Dusty-Eerie-pictures-film-sets-used-famous-westerns-lying-abandoned-ruined-Spanish-desert.html Quote
soundmanjohn Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Nice pictures, but like most of the cr*p that appears in the Daily Mail, a completely made up story. Rant-on/ Here in the UK, the Mail is more or less regarded as a joke, with poorly researched articles, or just direct cribs from other news sites. It constantly runs shock-horror outrage exploited teenage sex-related stories and yet its web-site is full of papped pictures of pre-teen girls in skimpy outfits. The phrases "all grown up" and "womanly curves" are their stock in trade with regarded to these kids. Hypocritical trash-rag, masquerading as a serious newspaper. Oh, and its 'health correspondent' can never make up his/her mind about what it is that either gives you or cures cancer, diabetes, heart problems, etc. Quite often it's the same thing, just a different week. /End-Rant Regards, John Quote

old school Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 Ha. I guess that all depends on one's definition of "descent".... I like the thought though. CrewC Quote
al mcguire Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Posted September 2, 2013 I find the US edition of the daily mail a source of obscure US and World news. Here are some examples: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2408465/Redhead-Festival-breaks-world-record-people-red-hair-gathered-place.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2408591/Mother-exiles-Map-shows-melting-pot-ethnicities-make-USA-today.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2408379/Fernando-Rodney-locked-bathroom-Tampa-Bay-Rays-game.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2408504/The-Jersey-Shore-Far-glamor-boardwalk-lies-community-home-makeshift-encampment-cliff.html Quote
al mcguire Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Posted September 2, 2013 They covered the Burning Man Festival http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2408547/Has-Burning-Man-mainstream-star-generals-attending-Former-NATO-Supreme-Commander-Wesley-Clark-spotted-festival.html Quote
soundmanjohn Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 Yes, the pictures were very nice, but they're of a working theme park/film studio called Fort Bravo in Spain and not what the article purports. Regardless of how useful you find their web site, I'm afraid that it doesn't alter my opinion that the Mail is a sleazy, lazy, sensationalist rag. All the best, John Quote
Jon Gilbert Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 I'm with John, no amount of scorn is too much for the Daily Fail. Quote
al mcguire Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Posted September 2, 2013 I comfortable with opposing opinions and I do not doubt your veracity. International question, is the Daily Fail worse than the US' Fox News Channel ( Faux News )? Quote
Jim Gilchrist Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 I sense Al is missing being able to grab a copy of he Weekly World News a the grocery store checkout. Best regards, Jim Quote
al mcguire Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Posted September 2, 2013 WWN is pretty serious stuff... definitely have to work at WWN before getting hired at Faux News Quote
soundmanjohn Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 I think you have us beat both with WWN and Fox News, but I sense this is all going a bit off topic and I apologise for derailing the thread with an irrelevant rant. Back on topic, you can check out the theme parks here: http://choose-almeria.com/attractions-mini-hollywood.php Best wishes, John Quote
al mcguire Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Posted September 2, 2013 John Soundguys in general are known for going off topic regularly Thanks for the links Al Quote
old school Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 I wouldn't be here if I had to stay on topic... CrewC Quote
Jim Gilchrist Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 No matter the subject, the Weekly World News is always on-topic. Best regards, Jim Quote
