Why?
Is it factually incorrect? |

If she fails to get a lot of money from the settlement, I hope she at least gets a deluxe set of Lego bricks so she can build her own dream palace...

You've become desensitized to IGTG's highlights. Look again. |

It's a low for the newspaper that published that drivel in the first place. |
That too. |

First off, you're going the Gopher route if you're going to claim I'm missing something by being pedantic.
Secondly, then, are you saying that his formatting has taken him to "new low"?
I personally wouldn't care what you underlined, bold-faced, or blew up into 36 point times new roman.
Why is this a "new low"?
Is it incorrect? |

Isn't the plural of Lego, "Lego"? |

Yeah, you're right. I'll change it to "Lego bricks" based on your observation and this passage from Wikipedia:
The Lego trademark
The Lego Group's name has become so synonymous with its flagship toy that many use the words "Lego" (collectively) or "Legos" to refer to the bricks themselves, and even to any plastic bricks resembling Lego bricks, although the Lego Group discourages this as dilution of their trademark. Lego catalogues in the 1970s and 1980s contained a note that read:
The word LEGO� is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you! Susan Williams, Consumer Services. |

You're pulling my leg, right?
Not having been in the softcore porn industry in Hamburg in 80s, I have no freaking idea how 'factually correct' the story is, but regardless I certainly wouldn't consider IGTG posting something "factually incorrect" here as a new low- that'd be closer to 'business as usual'. |

Big deal. She got naked and played around with a boner and some baby oil in front of a camera. Who amongst us hasn't?
Seriously though, there's heaps of stuff out there worse than porn. Like oh say....hiding billions of dollars in losses and lying to your employees and investors then going belly up and having thousands lose everything. Or...say, selling indulgences over the airways (send us some money and we'll plant your seed ) and using profits from your Club to invest in African Diamond mines which keep workers in near-slave like conditions. Or...oh maybe those lovely followers of Fred Phelps and their brethren over at Godhatesfags.com.
And people are acting all shocked over Heather Mills getting naked? |

To me, it looks more like he's taking the piss out of the Sun's trashy tabloid reporting (which is pretty rotten writing if you ask me.) |

CNN?
Why did you grab the story from The Sun then, you moron?
I don't understand you, it's like you are deliberately giving me this gift, and it's far from the first time.
It's like you are totally unaware of the implications of what you say.
