So plunge necklines were a feature of many of the most stunning gowns seen at this years Oscars, but we're pretty sure wearing a revealing neckline doesn't give anyone permission to scrutinise and rate your boobs. 

And yet here we are. 

National UK tabloid the Sun published the so-called 'titsee index' which rated the neckline of the top actresses at the awards show out of ten, including our very own Saoirse Ronan.

Isn't it just hysterical? Well, no, its actually not. 

The internet is suitably enraged with many critics lamenting the fact that actresses are being rated on their appearance rather than their accomplishments.

Even though the Sun is notorious for it's use of shock tactics and questionable story angles, we reckon this one may have over-stepped the line. 

And it seems that Twitter is in total agreement: 

#isitok that in 2016 The Sun thinks it is acceptable to produce a #titseeindex for the Oscars? @TheLastLeg https://t.co/bUNZIHO5u0

There is a "titsee index" in the sun, rating women's necklines out of 10 at #TheOscars and I want to be sick. How is that normal? So creepy!
