Letter: Respectable gloss

Sir: I have noticed a tendency within the "quality" media - The Independent included - to confer spurious respectability on prurient or fatuous articles by adding the phrase "What does this say about us?" to their titles.

Disturbingly, I find myself reading these articles even though I know I will be irritated by them. What does this say about me?
