THE SUN is to end its topless Page 3 feature because the UK’s supply of tits has been exhausted.

Page 3 has been in the newspaper since November 1970 but the shortage has been obvious in recent months, with only one breast appearing most days in order to drag it out.

Sun editor David Dinsmore said: “Back then we thought breasts were limitless.

“But the boob war of the 1980s between the Star and the Sunday Sport meant we were using up the country’s knockers at an unsustainable rate.

“We’re alright for arse at the moment, but we do need to learn the boob lesson and treat the female buttock as a precious, finite resource.”

He added: “From now on, the only way to see breasts will be in the history books.”
