They didn't act on that particular complaint becuase it was in a 'humourous' ( :rolleyes: ) fashion and because it was unlikely to offend the people that read it, i.e. 'blokes'
Weak reasoning you might say but you can't really go down the line of acting on everything that is offensive.......
a) It's harmless fun
b) All women I know could do with a boob job
c) Nanny state
wtf is wrong with you? All women you know? Dude, seriously you must have ridiculous expectations. Most women don't go around saying "all men I know need a penis enlargement" or anything. Get a grip.
But if they did, BS would surely be on the rampage about teh evil feminazis trying to tamper with the penis
it was a tasteless joke, they dont go after magazine offering makeover competitions which can often include cosmetic surgery etc etc
it's like the independant newspaper not getting big criticism for having a "why men are crap" section yesterday which was almost entirely sexist comments
I'd probably feel more well-rounded by not going out with someone who'd want to enter the competition in the first place!
not always, she needs to do the ironingand shopping as well
:thumb:
Lads mags are offensive and objectifying though.
Have you ever actually slept with a woman?
No, your mum doesn't count.
I didn't say they weren't.
I was merely saying that if you go down the route of banning stuff that is objectifying/offensive then you end up banning a whole load of stuff, not just lad mags......
Plastic surgery isn't something to go into lightly.
Yep.
The lads mags should be treated as what they are- filth. They should be put in plastic wrappers on the top shelf just like any other soft core magazine.
FHM was recently found to be more pornographic that Playboy (Source) and it should be treated as such.
playboy has never been particulary hardcore, it's just mr hefner living his own dream really
itsa tasteless joke and there probablyare girls out there who wouldnt mind their bf aplying for them :S
yeh but still.
Tbh, it's not like I actually care. I mean it's only a magazine at the end of the day.
Indeed.
Washing
Ironing
Fucking
Etc.
BTW The whole thiong sucks, it's not just about the objectification (a word?) of women, but the whole image matters approach we seem to have about our lives these days. I am what I am, if you don't like it then it's your problem not mine.
Yes, whay exactly have the issues got to do with eachother.
Getting lung cancer is a whole lot worse than being objectified........... :rolleyes:
Is it?
Maybe you'd like to consider objectification along with the removal of sexual taboo. "Vanilla" sex is now seen as so normal that the taboo has had to become more extreme.
Extreme sex and the objectification of women don't go too well together, unless you like your women beaten and raped.
I may well regret this, but whats 'vanilla' sex?
Basically it means normal and plain, a lot like the flavour, really.
Well I don't really see where extreme sex comes into it
A bit off topic don't you think, I am sure there is a link but it doesn't really directly relate to what we are talking about........
No, you wouldn't would you.
The man who accuses others of wanting to start a slanging match!
You never cease to amaze me......... :rolleyes:
No, I accused you on a specific thread in specific circumstances. However, it doesn't surprise me that you don't see the link. You do appear to have problems in making connections between things.
