according to the bbc - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30891939

About bloomin time. Why such sexist, misogynistic and offensive images have been allowed to perpetuate in the national press this long is beyond me.

No bad thing at all although probably the least offensive thing in that 'newspaper'.

Blimey, that still going? I thought they'd stopped that years ago?

They'll drop it, then bring it back in a couple of weeks 'bigger and better than ever due to public demand!!!1!', mark my words. Nothing like a good controversy to boost sales.

I'll start; they are just trying to keep abreast of public opinion....

Pretty sure that's exactly what Murdoch says, if the "readers" want it give it to them. He's not a fan apparently.

Have they thought this through? Where on earth are people going to find pictures of ladies with their baps out now?

How else are we going to know that Lisa (19) from Stockport is voting UKIP because she is worried about unaccountable European quango led decisions undermining our national identity?

Apparently now they will merely be scantily clad females

Three cheers for the ending of objectification of womenz in the press.

PC gone mad when you cannot see a teenage girl with her baps out in a national paper

Could it be an infringement
Of the freedom of the press
To print pictures of ladies in states of undress?

+1 about bloody time!

Daily Haiku on page 3 could go down well with Sun readers.

How are these young starlets supposed to attract their footballing mates now? Will no-one think of the nearly children?

I think they've boobed.

Not sure that scantily clad is any less distasteful than topless tbh.

If you want to see some prize asshattery, check out https://twitter.com/hashtag/jesuispage3

(Cos you know, the absence of gratuitous nipples from a newspaper is totally the same thing as mass murder...)

Ok, as a Sun reader, this will effect my daily life and I find it ridiculous. My daughter (pics available) was going to use a page 3 slot to launch her modelling career.
How and why does this effect you lot in any way?

Has this just doubled the stars' "readership"?
Do they still do the boobie page?

Murdoch is a businessman, he's not changing Page 3 for any social reasons. Its an attempt to "show the paper has changed" in the wake of the phone hacking scandal and the numerous Murdoch journalists who are still being tried and convicted.

Sadly people still give money to Murdoch by buying his paper. Scum that he is.............

Are they not moving it (or "them" is a better word...) to any other page? Like "2"? Or front?

Take it nobody is aware that the Star still have a page 3 as well (albeit a far tackier one)?

Also, the quotes have been gone for ages, I miss their valuable insights.

No, it's going into their online edition. It's a good job print media is booming in the face of shrinking interest in online news, otherwise this victory for feminism might seem a little hollow ๐Ÿ˜€

I heard they were just moving it to the sports pages at the back, because women never look there anyway...

Indeed - swapping tits for more column inches of divisive bilge isn't a win really. It would be better if they just printed the paper with one less page.

Now't wrong with men appreciating the female form on page 3 by looking at some boobies. It's what god intended for havens sake! You people celebrating the end of Page 3 really sound like you have some major hang ups in life. If you don't like page 3 , don't buy the Sun - simple ๐Ÿ˜‰

I don't, I get my gratuitous fix of boobies from Suicide Girls on Fb and Twitter, saves me paying for their site subscription. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I did the whole PC 'oh yes, jolly good, about time too' nonsense this morning when I heard the news..

My other half looked at me with a mixture of pity and maternal concern and proclaimed that it was the loss of a British institution..
This post feminism thing is a bloody minefield ๐Ÿ˜•
