CLEO hasn't had centrefolds for years, decades even!

^ Irrelevant. Nothing at all to do with its sexist objectification of women or the harm it does.

I was just replying to the remove clef comments, I thought he meant the old male centrefolds!

He probably did. Either way, I'm with Tannin - and don't get me started on the disgusting celebrity magazines that prop up an industry of upskirters and stalkers.

Honestly, I don't care enough about stupid lad mags (which are still easily available at newsagents) to support a counter-boycott or anything. It's just annoying to see this Festival of Feminist Light group use the forces of manufactured public outrage so successfully, and direct it at such an easy target. Unlike Christian fundie groups, though, their nominally 'progressive' stance means that nobody on the left ever stands up to them.

You know, the world is full of people with different opinions and preferences. Some people get home from work, kick off their shoes, and stick Mozart on, have a glass of beer, and follow up with a porno! Some prefer to sit down with a glass of red and new idea to check out what their favourite actress was wearing at last nights oscars. Neither is the wrong option. Doesn't make them stupid either. Nor does preferring light entertainment to documentaries, or the latest action flick over some dark European drama that has great artistic merit, but needs to be pondered at length to really get inside the directors head.

Funny how it's no longer ok to judge people by their sexual preferences, etc etc, but it's still ok to put people in the idiot pile, just by their choice of entertainment.

Seems footy players are entitled to do what they like with their down time, no judgement allowed, but yep lets judge the rest of the population because they read CLEO or playboy occasionally.

Who said I was judging anyone? Celebrity magazines are filth, but I never said that I think the people who read them are stupid or terrible.

If anything, these magazines are just proof of the banality of evil.

You make it sound like I'm exercising a double standard, but that couldn't be further from the case. The truth is that I think cocaine is a pretty unpleasant drug (although it is worth pointing out that, unlike the paparazzi, it isn't really hurting anyone else). But just as I wouldn't judge footballers or want to see them punished or publicly shamed for reading NW or Zoo, I don't judge them for snorting lines on the weekend. It's not my business. In each case, my issue is with the social problem, not the individuals at the end of the chain.

Que? Sounds like you bin gettin' your drugs from the wrong dealer, man.

I've only tried it a few times (back in the early 80's & while in the UK) & unpleasant was the last thing it was. Bit shit, I could play great footy. Wink

Thank you Hannah Arendt. From actual Nazism to a glossy mag.

Fair call, WPT. That comparison was a little over-the-top.

I apologise if I managed to offend any Nazis.

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

Nothing to do with Coles: no-one has been buying it for ages. (Probably 'cause it's crap.)

May I refer you, by the way, to an astute comment by a Guardian reader:

Quote:
It won't be missed. Not even slightly. Dare we hope to see the closure of some of the even more rampantly misogynist glossy women's magazines soon? (Probably not - the cash they earn from flogging clothes and body shame and makeup and inferiority and underarm razors and diet pills is no doubt far too much to walk away from.)

Still, you take every win you can get and the demise of Zoo is certainly a win.


Obviously a pretty bright chap. His name, apparently, is Tannin. You may have heard of him.

What a coincidence there being two online posters calling themselves Tannin.
