   I must say, Red did a good job making that the most forced smile in print history.

   Surely this should have been printed on Sunday?

   Oh of course, that's me being jealous, insecure, and probably a little fat.

   When parody goes that far it stops being funny. Did ANYONE read to the end?

   The Daily Mail never disappoints, every single day it offers something to mock and something else to get angry about. And what's with the obsession with the Third Reich? At least it's more entertaining than the Daily Express' Diana fixation.

    French husband, and self-absorbed, shallow wife? I'd have thought they'd be more popular.

    If you look carefully at the terribly posed photo of her at her computer, she has a forearm bingo wing, an unusual finding in the under-fifties, and one I am delighted to see the presumptious arrogant braggertess blessed with.

    That is awesome. I think the best bit is where she says 'I'm not smug' in the middle of a whole article devoted to her telling us how wonderfully attractive she is.

    I have to say though, her husband has a great moustache.

    One of my favourite DM comments was from someone pointing out that to date, her greatest achievement seems to have been marrying a man with well cultivated facial hair.

    Hooray there's more. The gorgeous one now responds to the backlash.

    More DM kak about how beautiful she is

    It's a gender issue apparently not just an ordinary looking woman claiming she's stunning and being called on it. I mean she's not a beast but I wouldn't.

    I've just read the follow-up article, I love it!

    You just know that somewhere Samantha Brick is sat pissing herself at the reaction she's got. Because she will have known full well what she was doing.

    The real test will be when she starts appearing on TV, as I'm sure she will with all this publicity. If she can repeat some of these opinions and stories of random men buying her stuff, while keeping a straight face, then she deserves an Oscar.

    I kind of admire Jose Mourinho for his brazen arrogance, but she makes him look modest.

    Who's really unpopular? Nick Clegg? David Cameron? Ed Miliband? Jeremy Clarkson?

    Is it worth doing a sub with one of them claiming that people hate them because they're beautiful, rather than because they're pricks? Or is that almost too easy?

    Ooooh, if it was David Cameron then he could claim that people are constantly giving money to his party and buying him dinner and stuff, which he assumes is because he's so beautiful. And Ed Miliband keeps criticising him because he's insecure and jealous of Cameron's looks. This really is too easy.

    Anybody fancy writing it? I don't really have time today.

    I've had a quick go, if anybody wants to use any of it and expand on it please feel free:

    As I said elsewhere...She created a perfect win/win situation for herself.
    Win 1 - She gets lots of attention, people get to know who she is and it raises her profile.
    Win 2 - She gets lots of abuse, women (and men) the world over have a rant at her egotism, and she gets to sit back and say, "I told you so."

    She's not dog ugly, but I doubt Mr B would look at her twice, and as a woman who is quite capable of appreciating other womens' beauty, she wouldn't cause me to have sleepless nights of envy.

    Now, me on the other hand...

    I love the picture of her pouting, tummy stuck out and forearm bingowings sagging, with her husband beside her, rocking the rifle/moustache giant combo look.

    Let's not ignore her, let's congratulate her on a wonderful piece of writing. Her article is one of the best parody pieces I've ever read.

    On a related topic - was the Daily Mail ever a serious paper or has it always been a kind of comic spoof of a newspaper?

    I must say that I sympathise with the poor girl. For almost 40 years I have been trying to make myself less attractive to women using beer and fatty foods. I am now resigned to the fact that its a curse I will somehow have to live with.

    Can I have a TV show now please?

    I could be very wide of the mark here but could this just be the DM website drumming up hits?
    E.g. write something rubbish and laughable, kick off a social media avalanch and watch everyone tal about nothing else for a few hours - and lots and lots of hits for the website.
    Maybe this is the start of right wing righteous bile viral meme activity.

    Daily Mail spoofing itself? It sets up an average looking freelance woman to write self-absorbed drivel about being beautiful, complete with lots of photos that really don't do her any favours, then waits for the torrent of bile from Daily Mail-reading woman-hating women, thus enabling men to think women really are horrible to each other aren't they? Genius. Possibly.

    Incidentally, but for the fact that she has written for the Daily Mail, I would.
