    i think lads mags are exactly what they believe they are.. cheap gossip, good looking ladies etc...its not like they are pretending to be quality reading, there are better magazines out there for that kind of stuff. Zoo was 60p last week i think, cant beat that for a quick read and a tv guide! good value if you ask me.

    the tits are a bonus too, every bloke enjoys looking at tits.

    well how come they're seen as erotic? the original purpose was to feed babies, not be splashed over porn mags

    Yeah, and those babies come about...how? If the bodies of one sex weren't naturally of erotic value to the other people wouldn't procreate...leaving no purpose for breasts in the first place. Think about it.

    With all due respect, Zoo and Nuts (two magazines who seem to see as each as huge rivals) have a retail price of £1.20. I notice they have to cut the price in half to sell them. Doesn't that tell us something?

    they regularly do em at 60p, i guess its to sell more than competitors on a particular week. still at £1.20 its not breaking the bank is it.

    compared to some of the more "well respected" magazines which retail around the £4 i think its a bargain.

    Attitudes to breasts are strange in this country. On the one hand, they're paraded on front covers of magazines and newspapers, yet on the other hand, people get outraged when they see a woman breast-feeding, something that's completely natural. I don't understand why at all.
    it just baffles me that people get offended by something totally natural

    Some people will get offended over anything. It's best to ignore them.

    It's great to look at a nice pair of baps, but I defy anyone to see a woman breastfeeding and think it erotic.

    I don't know why people get offended- it's mostly because people who let themselves get offended are fuckwits.

    Thread from last July on the topic.

    Interestingly, of the five that voted yes at the time I checked, not a single one explained why they thought it offensive. So, I looked elsewhere on the net. And to be perfectly frank, I can only find one or two tiny little comments on message boards usually saying something along the lines of "ooh, it's disgusting, it's filthy to be showing off boobs like that", presumably whilst perving over Page 3. When their arguments are challenged, they seem to go very quiet.

    i agree newsagents shouldn't place them at a childs eye level, sensible idea really

    rest of it is an utter joke though



    and those weekly guy mags are so crap not even a perv like me thinks theyre worth it, its the same quality of drivel as celeb gossip mags, with the latest attention whore getting their tits out or something


    the monthly guy mags, generally are quite silly in their humour, like little boy humour and a couple of alright ladies, most arent that great though imo


    bizaare is my favourite read easily these days, pushingcensorship to its limits, like the REAL photo of a dead baby girl in a chinese village, whilst a copper passes on bike - almost got it banned, however i say free speech even though its highly disturbing


    in all fairness most magazines are utter drivel and objectify everyone/thing in them

    Well, magazines like Heat, Now and so on all seem to have things on the cover like "skeleton women are back!" or other various headlines condemning women who are slightly under-weight. And when you put the weight back on, they condemn you again! Fucking wankers.
