The image on the left is a scan of my horoscope from today’s copy of the Metro. The Metro is published by Associated Newspapers and sister titles include the Daily Mail and the London Evening Standard.
Now, I’m certainly no prude, and the horoscopes as nothing more than a bit of fun, but is encouraging the use of “ahem - substances of your choice” as a “perfect option” really responsible journalism?
Hi Iain,
One could equally ask whether horoscopes in general are responsible journalism. Is it any more responsible to say “today’s a good day to leave your husband”, or “forget about those debts. Now’s the time to splash out”.
It’s all manipulation of the gullible.
I believe it means caffeine — what were you thinking?
