Rosie, 19, From Surrey
Location: The sun, page 3
The article is about the above woman 'Rosie'. She is 19 years old and comes from Surrey as stated. As much as the intellectuals among us would like to think, the main focus of this article is not about a lost tribe in Peru. No, given existing semiotics the focus is on the half naked female taking over the frame.
The fact that the reaction to the comment in the top right corner is a humerous one signifies that this text is not supposed to be taken seriously. The reaction is humerous because of the context it is in. The fact that in our current society a topless page three model is seen as stupid forces this reaction, along with the fact that the majority of people (at risk of sounding presumptious) who buy this type of tabloid and look at the page three models are men who don't care about what women have to say.
The myth communicated in this article is that women are sex symbols/objects to look at and not listen to, this is obvious given that the text is minute compared to the size of her breasts- reflecting the harsh fact that her opinion is unimportant. The whole article serves the purpose to entertain, both in a sexual and humerous sense, and is deeply offensive to women on every level.
