Will this do? (again)

Back when Stephen Pollard wrote his 'I don't like Glastonbury, ooh, I'm so controversial' piece, I speculated on his next offering to the poor newspaper readers of Britain:
of me thinks it'll be 'Wayne Rooney is a tosser' or 'Why I hate football' (though, as he's already confessed to supporting Spurs, we already knew that) though there's always other fearless contrarianism like 'Why more people should kick puppies', 'Jesus, how I hate the taste of ice cream', 'We must extinguish the sun now', 'How dare these nanny staters tell me that banging my head against a brick wall repeatedly might be bad for me and it could be a good idea for me to stop' or 'Really, newspapers will fill their comment sections with any old toss nowadays, won't they?'

Well, we all knew it was going to be the latter in someway or other and today I discover (via the Stoa) that it's the Tour de France that finds itself facing a ruthlessly humourous dissection being moaned about to fill space in the silly season. Really, I can't put it any better than Chris:

Are the only people more stupid and ignorant than Pollard the editors who pay him for his dross?
