Hatsune Miku fans have noted with interest the Vocaloid sensation’s UK tabloid debut, in the pages of rag Metro.
The article in question was published both in the print and online editions of Metro, the UK’s 4th most popular daily:
Details of the event mentioned are visible in previous articles – although strictly speaking there was nothing “holographic” about the technology used to project her likeness onto the stage.
The ironic side to the article is that the art used in the paper edition is by top lolicon mangaka Rustle, most of whose works are now illegal in the UK thanks to its decline into a moralist surveillance state.
The article also fails to mention Miku’s official age is 16 – illegal to draw suggestively in the UK, although legal for an adult to have sex with were she in fact real, handily criminalising most of her British fanbase.

Can't wait to read about her sex scandals in the tabloids.
I would get a great kick out of that.
This might require photoshop.
This is beyond ironic. Oh, the hilarity.
Oh the hypocrisy.
Well I guess it's about time to get that plane ticket to London so that I can fuck a 16yo right in the middle of Westminster Square and be back by the lunch time. (/sarcasm)
*nods sadly in agreement*
If only they knew the facts about our beloved Miku Hatsune and her fellow Voc@loids...
By the way, if anyone wants all the works of Rustle, I have everything by him...
Rustle's doujin works are in my profile...
Scroll down all the way to the bottom~
Dumb brits are dumb.
They can't even read Chibi Miku without fear of getting jailed because it shows lolis with miniskirt...
Don't blame the public for the actions of dumbass governments.
We take no responsibility for their stupidity.
The public sure voted the assholes, though.
Actually, no. Not even 50% voted for the main party this time.
I'm pondering wether or not a lawsuit against metro for showing a fictional 16 year-old in a suggestive pose would serve well to point out how retarded those laws are.
You know, that's a great idea.
It's just a matter of Tories going all Thatcher and LibDems betraying all their values and voters to appease their coalition partners.
We can look at whatever we want as long as its justified, unlike America with its patriot act and Christian-nutjob run government. We don't censor the human form unless its harmful, the people on this site have no idea how open Britain is. The bans come as a way of pleasing foreign comment, part of a political move. Also I won't get shot at or arrested for having an opinion contrary to majority in Britain.
The metro is not from one county is has many editions and content is shared.
there is an Irish edition but it only has 28 pages compered to 76 pages in the UK edition

Fine, fuck a 16-year-old. Just don't hire an artist to draw the incident. That would be illegal!
All hail Britannia!
I'm enjoying all this delicious lack of researching that popular media all over the world seem to be afflicted with. Gives me a good laugh every time. It takes..what..? A minute to search online and find out all about Miku (age and all)?
I dont know what would happen: people being amazed on the fact that shes not real, yet famouse than, or the fact that something tells me that most people in the UK probably wont read this considering its so brand new, it might be and probably is stupid.
Wonder what the reaction is.
Being from the UK, I can tell you...
People won't be amazed, we already get so many articles about the Gorillaz being "cartoons" and "virtual". Since it's not a well written article and only gives basic information, people won't care at all.
It's more of a "did you know? oh, that's interesting." type thing.
Not impressed..
I saw it and said "omg its mikumiku" most of my class said it was cool one said it was stupid but I just told him to stfu
As long as it's not drug controversies I'd be fine with that..
lol won't be long til a sex tape gets leaked
Happened long ago. Miku's a real celeb now. ^_^

They should get some japanese chick to cosplay Miku and turn her into a Music Idol or something.
Then again, maybe it would be a fail...
You sir, just made my day.... rofl
yea drawing miku is jail bait but if shes real have sex with her all u want... the world is dumb... just a picture dammit
I want some Miku Miku sex!
Kurumi Ponchio!??
Get the virtual display and the dickcontroller shown here recently and you're good to go.
Diccontrollers are the future of humanity. The next generation will be born entirely in 2D.
"Metro is the trading name of a free daily newspaper, published by Associated Newspapers Ltd (part of Daily Mail and General Trust) in the United Kingdom. It is available from Monday to Friday"
Does it mean if I go on the bus today the newspaper can still be there? :3
You can ask at the help desks and they might have one left over from yesterday.
Well looks like it's tiem to get out of the bed... thx

What a cute tiny notebook.
hmm I wonder how many people cut her out of the paper that day XD
I wonder how many fapped onto the paper that day. ^_^
She's not on Page 3 yet... and anyway she's too flat to be on Page 3...
Page 3 contains whores and fugly women. Hatsune Miku is too beautiful for being on newspapers. Exception, this article.
Lol, I thought it's the newspaper from my country, Malaysia.
Have newspaper called Metro also here.
Used to be mentioned at Sankaku, just not remember what article though.
So... it is illegal to draw Miku having sex, but were she a real girl, it would be OK to have sex with her.
Wow... This is the kind of shit you feed to the HAL9000 to make his head explode.
Yup. Only the sick brains of politicians and femnazis can produce such mind fuck.
Remember that in Britain, we've just come out of 13 years of rule by socialist Christfags. Just think about that for a second. Socialism and Christfaggotry combined. Imagine the worst parts of the Democrats and the Republicans, with no pesky constitution or Bill of Rights to get in their way and stop them from making an average of a new law for every day they were in charge.
That's the kind of government we've just had, so it's no surprised our laws are fucked up beyond belief.
at least this time there's no pedobear :)
Why haven't you checked the newsflow, or the forums at least?

Miku might get an English voicebank!
Important news!
this should be on the main site to find more follower (likes)...
They used Rustle's artwork of her instead of Huke's.. Pretty interesting :3, either that's what they found in Google Image or whoever did that page actually has a folder filled with Rustle's works in his HDD..
Makes you wonder why they ran this article in the first place, maybe there is a miku fan on their staff.
Just call her Mika-dono there and it will be overlooked... . . .. (maybe).. . .
Lol, I hated the "Miku Hatsune is a rip-off from Gorillaz" note in the corner
It's truth.
activating troll down voting system...
Gorillaz will never have as many fans as Miku...
With their (Gorillaz) awfully sounded slow-beat boring songs sung by someone who seems to be high on drugs, I doubt that'll be possible.
I'm saying this with my J-pop bias mode OFF.
