Not the story itself, but going by the comments: The Sun's more vocal readership (plus their children and various animals) could easily create a £74 million painting, and art is getting in the way of stopping world poverty. On PURPOSE probably.

Fuck - I saw a story yesterday (I think it was in the EE) about a woman who decided to give up drinking for a month. She persuaded her mates to do the same. I can't believe that shit was in the newspaper. People must give up drink for a month all the time.

Yeah - that's the one. I think it's probably a valid story in that she's trying to campaign due to losing her Dad with an alcohol related illness and all, but the way story is actually written is ridiculous. Focussing on the fact she struggled to not drink for a month. I stopped drinking on 31 December 2011 and it's been a complete piece of piss. I've had breaks from alcohol a few times in my life because I get a bit sick of it and this time I think I've stopped for good. It mainly stems from the fact that my Dad has been battling an alcohol problem for the past 20 years or so and I can see the damage it can do.

That story in the EE just looks so trivial though. The story should be about her campaign and there should be a one-liner saying that she gave up drink for a month.

The Evening Express makes stories out of planning applications all the time, most of them potential windfarms (a good source for a story since there's always someone on either side). But I'll agree that writing one on a casino's new door is a bit desperate.
