The reason the Sun was so anxious to pin snarky comments about the whole britpop worship of footballers through being skinny and "hawt" on Lily Allen is that -- if you listen to her lyrics and watch her videos -- you'll know quite clearly that she thinks the whole thing is a load of misogynistic rubbish.

Whereas the Sun is like the bastion of promoting misogynistic rubbish in the UK.

But she doesn't play their game -- she has a way of telling you that britpop culture is a load of misogynistic rubbish without naming names, through her art.

Well, she isn''t following the Sun's misogynistic script of casting any woman with a brain and valid criticism as "mean" and "catty" -- so they make up quotes that paint her as having followed that script.

You see, it can't possibly be that there is something wrong with the fashion centric shallow stupid footballer-balling british bimbos the Sun likes to promote -- oh no, there must be something wrong with the woman who has the balls to point this out.

But the poor Sun! Now they have to apologize and make a payout. I am so crying in my beer for them. LOL.
