August 2: LETTERS
FOR SEVERAL weeks the Sun has been writing a number of articles regarding
topless women in Ontario, many more than the subject requires. However, it was not
until I saw the front page of July 14 that I felt compelled to write. It features
a women in a skimpy bikini, bathing herself in a fountain. Most papers and indeed
most people, do not think of this as informative or newsworthy, let alone publishable
on the front page of a major newspaper. Nevertheless, this newspaper seems to be
more interested in the obsessions of male, adolescent fantasies than with reporting
news headlines. Please find another gimmick to sell papers. You are alienating your
female readers.

CANADIANS ARE making a big deal out of nothing. The law doesn't state that
women have to, or will go topless, it simply states that if they're hot enough they
can go topless. Here we are one of the greatest countries in the world yet we can't
get past something as simple as the human body. If it offends you to look at topless
women, then just don't look.

THE JULY 23 copy of the Sun depicted a very pretty SUNshine Girl, overly dressed
for this weather. Since the law allows bare breasts, why are your recent SUNshine
Girls overdressed? Shirts, skirts, dresses, not even a bikini. What would be the
harm to see a lovely lady on Page 3 with exposed breasts? If this is absolutely
impossible to do, perhaps you could put them back in bikinis?
