    What a meaningless and trivial issue. You would think the Herald might find something worthy of their time.
    It is 2016 and whilst I would never consider going to one of those places I can only assume that anybody who finds it offensive or tasteless or even funny is hiding some sort of personal sexual issue.

    Its an inevitable consequence of what is known as the Streisand Effect.

    I don't mind people participating in such places - I've met a few over
    the years and there is no evidence of sexual deviation. The judge did
    make a mistake, and I agree with you that this is a mistake by the
    media, and nothing to do with the government.

    I tend to agree with you, but The Herald has worked long and hard to
    ensure its time is worthy of no more than the utterly trivial LCD
    material it disgorges.

    Ooooh, I dunno. It's quite simple and almost as old as time: Dignity
    and Status caught bollock-naked = collapse of stout party.

    I recall being advised in my youth that if feeling at all nervous at an interview, simply imagine your tormentor without a stitch on.

    It works!
