SIR: I think all the fuss about the nude men appearing in the BEN is a little unwarranted. It's hardly paving the way for the corruption of the populace. At least the chaps in question were getting off their (bare) backsides to help a charity. It's called fun.
Yes, a family paper should be careful not to resort to 'sleaze'. But I have seen worse sights than the picture in question, on television before the watershed - and it isn't as bad as a pair of boobs spread across page three of the Sun every day.
