I don't understand British tabloids.

I really really really do not understand British tabloids. Shouldn't they be writing articles about Madonna's alien baby? I don't understand their obsession with Doctor Who. I don't read them to know for sure, but I don't think American tabloids spend their time writing about what "REALLY AND FOR TRUE WILL HAPPEN ON [insert show] OMG!!!"

I'm not going to even cut this, this latest "spoiler" is so ridiculous. The Sun's claiming that in the final eps, Martha and Mickey get married. Which, if you've even watched S4 of DW and S2 of Torchwood, you know is completely impossible.

Prof Docherty: Well dear, apparently you're supposed to marry Mickey.
Tom: Um, my name's Tom. Who's Mickey?? o_O
Martha: The guy I met once on the TARDIS? Bitch, please.

So to sum up in a question, do writing about nutso spoilers for a TV show really sell papers? (Not linking lest they get ad revenue for this nonsense.)

You're implying there's more important news to cover?

I mean, this basically means we don't have to invent tabloid news articles for Pete's World - we can just lift them wholesale from The Sun! ;-)

OOOOOH!

It's a shame that this particular one would take place in the other universe. Otherwise rose_m_t and alienish_being would probably have a few things to say about it. :D
