"Go fug yourself;" - Journalism or mere criticism?

“Go fug yourself” is a witty mixture of criticism and humour, taking the fashion mistakes of well- known celebrities and making them public knowledge. The mixture of humour makes the articles a little more light - hearted, therefore ordinary people such as myself do not feel too bad about joining in with the ongoing slaughter. However, something that would normally take up one page in a magazine, can take up a far larger amount of room online. Magazines normally criticise one or two celebs for their favourite mistakes, "go fug yourself" has a range of celebs, whether they be old, young, well known or new comers, it doesn't matter "go fug yourself" gives an opinion about them all.

"Go fug yourself" also aims to a large market, because everyone wants to see a celebrity looking rubbish, it makes us normal folk feel better about ourselves. They fit into a selective niche and they accommodate to it well because of the range of celebrities that they have.


The two girls that started "go fug yourself" have been called "hilarious bitches" and have also been targeted by many of their critics. However, secretly i think that people love them and what they do.
