I thought the sun was a parody site

Nope it's Murdock's prime method of inception for the lowest common denominator of the UK's working class, aside from Liverpool because they blamed the crowd for the Hillsborough disaster and therefore you won't find a copy of it sold in that city.

That's not an exaduration, it literally has tits on Page 3 (except on Sundays), regularly publishes the most outlandish celebrity gossip stories, and you'd be better informed by reading the shit smears on your used toilet paper.
