Why I love the British paper The Sun it's because of this headline (mildly NSFW): [More:]

"Yorkshire PuDDings: Northern Lasses Have Biggest Boobs In UK."

Suck it, New York Post! I've got a new favorite newspaper!
Oh, shoot! Could someone please put a (more inside) mark after the "Mildly NSFW"

Thanks a million.

You're welcome.

This also appeared in the Daily Mail as "Eee Bra Gum". For once, it looks like the Sun (who are usually masters of the pun) come second.

Of course - I'm deeply ambivalent about this headline. There seems to be no substance to the reporting. For example, I've no idea if this is a genetic thing or associated more with diet. Also - it's The Sun, and they're well known for publishing any story which they can plaster around a half naked woman. Plus, there are a dearth of stories in the southern press that like to link attributes of perceived feminine lasciviousness with "being northern". It's pretty easy to guess what Southerners think of Northern women.

On the other hand, I am curious as to why this would be, where they got the research & what the story behind the story is. For my sins, I do want to know more.

Hmm. I was not aware of that subtext at all.

Oh, I thought "Biggest Boobs" was referring to their husbands, and the whole headline was a veiled sexual pun on toad in the hole.
Too much Monty Python from Netflix, I guess.

This is just to say that: || Attention Texans!
