The tone of El Reg is very similar to many other tabloids though. Most don&#x27;t take themselves seriously. I gave a few examples of The Sunday Sport in another post, but here&#x27;s one from a Scottish tabloid, reporting about when someone caught a failed suicide bomber trying to attack an airport:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thehosh.files.wordpress.com&#x2F;2008&#x2F;02&#x2F;kickedterrorist.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thehosh.files.wordpress.com&#x2F;2008&#x2F;02&#x2F;kickedterrorist....</a><p>And here&#x27;s one from The Sun<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lazerhorse.org&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2014&#x2F;05&#x2F;The-Sun-Stupid-Headlines-UFO-hits-turbine.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lazerhorse.org&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2014&#x2F;05&#x2F;The-Sun...</a><p>I don&#x27;t tend to read many tabloids, but the Red Tops (predictably named because of their design) I&#x27;ve read on occasions do follow the same tongue-in-cheek writing style.<p>I think it&#x27;s fair to say they can&#x27;t all be parodies as you then have to question when a parody is so commonplace that it&#x27;s no longer a parody; that it instead just becomes that normal thing.
