To be perfectly honest, I scanned the front page of the Globe and Mail this morning and didn't even notice that I should take offence.
I was far more interested in the latest twist on the SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal written up right next to the under-age thighs of the teen figure skater. And what exactly does "under-age" mean in this context?
Is she not old enough to skate?
Kaetlyn Osmond was not offended by the photo. And why should she be? Presumably she knows what she wears when she skates. She was just thrilled to be on the front page of the national newspaper of record in spite of her eighth place finish at the World Figure Skating Championships.
So I think it's a tempest in a tea-pot, and if it doesn't bother Kaetlyn then I think we can safely ignore the half dozen or so senior editors at the Globe who are threatening to fall on their swords over this imaginary faux-pas.
You go girl!
