Today I noticed 'Morrisons' put their copies of 'FHM' and 'Nuts in boxes so the front covers can't be seen.

I'm not someone who frequents this topic but was curious as to how this would be seen, especially in this topic?

Personally I welcome it, I have no problem with te naked body but the way women are presented in these magazines makes me feel queasy.

DH asked, when I told him, if the papers were still on show, the ones with topless women on the front, but TBH I didn't look.

Seems like a good idea to me.

Great news! No nothing to do with the naked body, all the way it is objectified in these magazines for me too.

Whereabouts in the country are you?

Sounds great - whatever your attitude to porny stuff that people access by choice, having pictures like that all over the shops where they're pushed in your face is just wrong.

I'm in Manchester, it was the Chorlton branch.

There were 2 white plastic stands in with all the other magazines and they just said in large black print FHM with the magazines inside.

progress!
I hope this is standard across all Morrisons.
And if they're doing it, it will make it easier to persuade other retailers.

I'll have to check out my local Morrisons. Good on them if they are doing this.

Good for them. That makes me respect Morrisons a lot tbh. Shame others can't follow suit

LOL @ all the feminists rushing to Morrisons

they do nice pies.

and bread :o

And elephants, the butter to go on said bread is divine. I was there yesterday and picked up their finest (or equivelant) butter with big chunks of salt in. To die for.
But I digress..

What do you think about sending a quick email to say a) how great b) hope all other branches are doing the same and c) how we'll be going there from now on because of the butter bread pies boxes?

The Sainsburys I go to does this too - all the magazines with nudity on their front covers are obscured with just the name/logo on the plastic in front. And are on a high shelf

Good for Morrisons. I was going to pop to ASDA later but I'll go to Morrisons instead now, even though it's much further away.

Definitely a good idea about the email, Elephants.

"they do nice pies.
and bread
And elephants"

yay, Morrison's !

The flowers are good too.

And the cheapo sausages are actually yummy !

Feedback Form if anyone wants to get in touch.

Nice to be writing a letter to say something positive for a change.

Then we can all get hold of our local tescos/asda etc and berate them with it :o

have written to Morrison's, registering my approval

Hello

I'm writing to say how pleased I am that the Chorlton branch of Morrisons has got the copies of Nuts, FHM etc covered up in boxes. As a normal shopper who doesn't really like to be confronted with explicit pictures when doing my shopping, this means I'll be shopping at Morrisons from now on.

Can you tell me whether you'll be rolling this out to all your stores?

Congratulations on making an ethical choice that means that children and adults aren't faced with these images in your shop.

Kind regards

me too AF - just posted that in case anyone needs inspiration.

I said something similar about congratulating them on their family-friendly policies

They get biiiiig ticks in their corporate boxes you see, for "family-friendly policies"

trying to find tescos feedback email to give them a bollocking now...anyone got it?

couldn't find the feedback email

but maybe this...
