Occasionally the Daily Mail veers into the territory of self-parody.

Take last Wednesday's edition.

On page 22, there was an article about rugby player Danny Cipriani, illustrated with a massive picture of the star with only a rugby ball to protect his modesty.

Page 37 had an article about how hippies have turned into their parents. Of course, the Daily Mail can't illustrate a story about hippies without a picture of a carefree hippie-chick showing her breasts.

And on page 56?

An article by Liz Jones deploring the gratuitous use of nudity.
