Weekly magazines for Men. What? Why? Who?

[Gothmog]

It's all basically an attempt to publish pictures of women wearing as little as possible so why don't the people who buy this stuff get proper porn mags instead?
They have features on "blokey" stuff as well.


So I've been told.

 "Nuts" is dire, they've given out a free copy in every WH Smith in the land so they've  got to have a massive budget, pity they didn;t spend it on content.
 Find the whole mens market really depressing, read GQ when I'm really bored just for this years Cravat styles, but its a wasteland really.

I saw it t'other day. Sheesh it looks even sh*tter than Heat.
These magazines serve no purpose but to fuel the faux-celebrity worship of the tabloids, building them up, knocking them down - but who the heck cares about these d-list 'it' girls & boys?

Mind you, even the NME's crap these days.

No, the only periodicals I get nowadays are of the comic variety.

[Mr C]

Most of the budget for these mags is probably spent on airbrushing the women who display themselves all over the insides turning them into these plastic inhuiman mannequins that the neanderthal readership like to drool over.
Honestly, the only people who read these magazines are morons who consider wife bashing  Vinni Jones to be a good role model and Richard Littlejohn to be an intllectual giant instead of the stunted midget he really is.

Anyway, they can't be that manly since they don't have moustaches on the front ;)

Even old favourites such as New Scientist and Fortean Times seem to be going downhill fats, getting more and more populist. It's gotten so I've started reading The Economist, but its probably only a matter of time before that starts running articles about supermodels tots or some such.

[Quirkafleeg]

yeah, and is it just me or are all film magazines shite nowadays as well. Oh for the days of Vox and early Empire.

"Neon" in its prime was clealry the bestest film-mag evah! despite no one actually reading it.

[Smiley]

Vox. Bloody hell, all the "Val Kilmer is Jim Morrison" news you could hope to eat.

[Quirkafleeg]

Errr yeah, my comic addled brain was confusing Vox with Neon

[paulvonscott]

I used to read Neon, and I still have my Rollerball poster on the wall from it, my Dark Star one has gone somewhere, no idea where.

The Kinski pisstake they did was inspired, *almost* (but not quite) as nutty as the real thing.

"Now I absolutely despise the murderer Herzog. I tell him to his face that I want to see him perish like the llama he executed. He should be thrown to the crocodiles alive! An anaconda should throttle him slowly! The sting of a deadly spider should paralyze him! His brain should burst from the bite of the most poisonous of all snakes! Panthers shouldn't slit his throat open with their claws, that would be too good for him! No. Big red ants should piss in his eyes, eat his balls, penetrate his asshole, and eat his guts! He should get the plague! Syphilis! Malaria! Yellow fever! Leprosy! In vain. The more I wish the most horrible of deaths on him and treat him like the scum of the earth that he is, the less I can get rid of him!"
