A QUICK LOOK AT THIS MORNING'S FRONT PAGES

A nice juxtaposition of picture and headline from today's Morning Star:



He's old, cold and broke... and apparently living in a bloody boat.

Meanwhile - because, of course, it's not racism if it's the French - The Sun somehow try and hook the Crazy Frog to the bid to host the massive debts and organisational nightmare of the Olympic Bid: "Don't let the Crazy Frogs win, win, win".



Apart from being a bit confused (isn't the Frog, like, so popular people will pay cash to have it on their telephones? Isn't suggesting that the Paris bid is the equivalent of this bemusingly well-loved character a bit on a par with saying 'don't vote for kittens'?), we're not sure the link between the Crazy Frog and the Paris bid makes enough sense to have been worth doing. It's not like there aren't a load of butt-headed national stereotypes for The Sun to choose from to kick the French, is it? But the fact it's done badly is no excuse - we imagine the Press Complaints Commission will be having a word, won't they? Won't they?
