Dear Daily Telegraph,
It has apparently reached your notice that Dita Von Teese has posed for the German edition of Playboy magazine. Clever you!
Why, however, you insist on continuing to use the strategy of drawing in readers with the promise of titillation but providing a salve for their guilt in the form of finger-wagging condemnation for them to noddingly agree with, I'll never know. Sure, the Daily Telecrap is written for morons, but surely in this day and age the true blue Aussie morons who make up your readership don't need to pretend to be looking at pictures of boobs only so they can say how evil it is and how it should be banned (banned!!)... right? You pathetic hypocrites.
Even The Sun, the fellow Murdoch rag whose story you pinched, for once didn't see fit to pull that finger-wagging bullshit. Has she 'gone too far? *insert mock outrage here*' indeed. Just as well you included a gallery full of gratuitous pictures of Dita Von Teese (or is she... "really Dita Von Sleaze" you
Finally, if you'd used your second-favourite journalistic tool (Facebook being number one for the 'journalists' at your trashy rag) you would have noted that Dita Von Teese first posed for Playboy years ago. The December 2002 issue of Playboy has her on the cover- and an excellent pictorial inside. You useless wankers.

Take your pick.
Wonder when they're going to notice that many European magazines, including those for teens, have full-frontal nudity. Teh outrage!!!!!!!!!
The cafe downstairs seems to get 2 papers each day. La Monda and the Herald Sun. Dare i say it, but the Tele might as well be a quality publication in comparison to the latter. As i don't speak Italian i can't comment on the former's headlines.
She was also once a regular model in Playboy Special Editions, began her career in fetish mag Bizzare and has appeared in about 10-15 porn flicks, some hard core (and at least one that cannot be sold in Australia, but that's more to do with our overly restrictive censorship, as it's pretty tame but includes fetish elements which our censors hate).
Most of this is readily determinable from her Wikipedia page and you can find the rest by following the links.
What actually makes her interesting is that she is a very rare example of a porn model/actress who has established a respectable, if racy, mainstream career. Usually a single porn appearance is enough to completely kill any hope of a mainstream career.
The only other examples that readily come to mind are people like Stephanie Silvesdt who went from Playboy to the Eurotrash TV show.
Other examples are minor actresss like Pamela Anderson but I can't think of any who have survived doing hard core or fetish.
Von Teese is more or less the only person who has.
Very lazy journalism.
