I can't be the only one thinking a better title for her would be 'Chief Lubrication Officer'

Strangely, people do have some warped ideas about what is and isn't right for women to do.

I have no issue whatsoever with Lilly Allen doing this or the BBC promoting the story.

It's not a 'story' though is it, it's Lilly using our tax payer funded broadcaster to surreptitiously market her horrendously overpriced Chinese made sex toy tat - do you really think it's just a coincidence and she's doing the article to empower women to do what they've always done?

Lots of things on news sites aren't 'stories' that are universally considered newsworthy, and often there is a business interest tied in with an article.

It is a story that addresses a serious point that for many people will be meaningful. Lots of women in many cultures (including British) are treated as possession who are expected to adhere to expectations imposed on them. This is just an aspect of that. If Lilly addresses the issue head on and she makes a few quid, who cares?

It is interesting how quick the condemnation of this article is though, especially as it isn't aimed at the vast majority of us who use this site.

A couple of those 6'5" Syrian 16 year olds she wanted to re-home would have done the job no bother.

According to the article, Silly Lily stated that with regard to female sex, `it should be got out into the open' She does at least practice what she preaches, since she went on stage with her beaver on show.
