Now look at the Daily Mash.</p> <p>[flounce]</p> <p>A Level students '20% less fit' than last year</p> <p>17-08-12</p> <p>THIS year’s crop of young, predominantly female, students pictured celebrating their A Levels is up to 20% less attractive than last year’s, it has been claimed.</p> <p>Researchers have found that that perkiness and litheness have dropped, possibly as a result of the poor summer weather.</p> <p>Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said “There’s been a considerable decline in bewitching nubility among the young women who represent our contry’s future.</p> <p>“One of the ones in the Daily Telegraph was a 7 at best”.</p> <p>“Of course, less attractive women have the right to an education too. No-one’s saying they don’t. It’s just that newspaper editors – and probably newspaper readers, I suppose – aren’t into seeing the plain ones hugging, and kissing, and touching each other tenderly on the arm in a display of hormonally-charged affection.</p> <p>“Or pressing their lissom young bodies against each other.</p> <p>“Also, some of this year’s photographs had very poor composition. In a lot of the pics, the girl’s hair obscured their faces, and some had their arms folded, which somewhat defeats the object.</p> <p>“And in the Mail’s traditional picture of two girls jumping in the air, one of them was wearing a Marty McFly-style windcheater, rather than the flimsy cotton summer dress tradition demands.</p> <p>“To compound the problem, boys have started doing well in A Levels, meaning that some perfectly good shots of young women have been ruined by having young men on them.</p> <p>“Although you can crop them at home in Photoshop, if you right-click and save them.” </p>
