Alas, the sexist commentary didn't stop at the front page. Inside the paper, a headline above a column by Sarah Vine read: "Finest weapons at their command? Those pins!"
"But what stands out here are the legs – and the vast expanse on show. There is no doubt that both women consider their pins to be the finest weapon in their physical arsenal. Consequently, both have been unsheathed," read Vine's column.

People flocked to Twitter in droves to condemn the front page, with many questioning whether the paper was serious.
