Paper Monitor

17:29 UK time, Thursday, 19 April 2012

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

It's joyful juxtapositions today.

Firstly in the Sun - left-hand page "Mentally ill young porn link", right-hand page (a few millimetres away) Page Three featuring topless 25-year-old Sam.

Then on page 11 of Metro - left-hand side is 100 days to go until the Olympics, next to a story about a Taliban commander who handed himself in to police while trying to claim the $100 reward on a poster. Hundredtastic and also notable for the quote from an official:

"Clearly the man is an imbecile."

Slightly less obvious in the Daily Express is the position of a diary story about John Lydon complaining about the campaign to get God Save the Queen to the top of the charts. The adjacent advert is headlined: "I AM A BIG DEAL". Quite.

Away from matters juxtapositional, there is some dreadful punnage at the back of the Express. Chelsea (with a Didier Drogba goal) beat Barcelona (star man Lionel Messi gives ball away for goal).

Headline on the back: "Blues clean up the Messi". Ouch.

Inside story: "Hot Drog is the mustard".

Oucher.
