I probably am, but I was judging one such moron flicking through the 'naked'/'lesbian'/'soap star porn shot' or whatever the main focus of whichever magazine it was and I felt like saying why not buy Razzle and be a bit more upfront about it all.

blokes that age are a bit obsessed though aren't they, think i'd rather find my ds(15) reading nuts or whatever rather than razzle.

YANBU sadly.

I am fed up of seeing massive breasts and lesbian shots next to Mother and Baby/Hello at the newstands. Can't we ensure that the covers are covered?

fhm is actualy pretty witty.

Cappuccino · 01/10/2008 18:00

yes

they would not last 5 mins on my beta male thread

TheCrackFox · 01/10/2008 18:02

YANBU, they should just buy a wank mag and have done.

combustiblelemon · 01/10/2008 18:03

Do men really buy these? When I was at school (in days of yore when dragons lived) these were the kind of magazines 14/15 year old boys read on the bus.

Lauriefairycake · 01/10/2008 18:04

thankfully I know no men that would buy or read this - surely only for boys

if there were actual saddo men that did then no, yanbu

LazyLinePainterJane · 01/10/2008 18:06

FIL buys these. The man is 55 and I find it rather off putting when they are scattered all around the kitchen table.

He also has all those naked lady trade calendars that before I realised he had them I thought had died out.

I do confess that on grumpy moody days I have moved them from the stand in WHSmiths and put them next to Total Carp magazine. I don't even know why.

TheSmallClanger · 01/10/2008 18:06

YANBU. Misogynistic, repetitive, lowest-common-denominator crap.
I do worry that teenage boys are being influenced by them as well.

DaddyJ · 01/10/2008 18:07

Well, you will be pleased to learn that apparently

  • according to the sales figures - these kind of mags are in decline.

That's the good news!

LazyLinePainterJane · 01/10/2008 18:07

He also regularly talks about how attractive girls like Fearne Cotton and other presenters are, not realising how lecherous he sounds.

zippitippitoes · 01/10/2008 18:08

they are no better worse than heat etc imo

SaintRiven · 01/10/2008 18:11

I wish they'd cover the, umm, covers. Don't need to see finat fake boobs when i'm in the superamrket.

PootleAndThePoseysMum · 01/10/2008 18:13

YANBU at all. I really hate the way these magazines are displayed right beside family @ child publications but not as much as it galls me when The Daily Sport/Daily Star with some naked tart squatting on a football with the headline 'Win this Football' - boak - is situated at the knee level of my toddler on the bottom shelf of the newspaper stand - Why?

Cocolepew · 01/10/2008 18:14

I complained to our local Tesco that they should be put up higher. I didn't want my DDs staring at them when they went to pick a comic. They didn't but did move them nearer to the car/bike/manny type mags.

noonki · 01/10/2008 18:15

they are a load of shite, as are heat etc zippiti

stretchmarkqueen · 01/10/2008 18:37

Aren't they supposed to have them blue covers on?? Our sainsbury's do, but the 'men' after they've had a quick look, don't put them back!! So I do!!
I must say, it does put off a few men when there's a crazy lady putting them back behind the covers muttering how disgusting they are!

stretchmarkqueen · 01/10/2008 18:38

oh and YANBU! They are vile and disgusting and not really the thing for a supermarket!!

TheProvincialLady · 01/10/2008 18:39

YANBU, they are SUCH a big pile o'shite.
