see i dont mind 'lad's' magazines being covered in naked women, because i 
mean thats kinda what makes up the content of the magazine.  but im very 
irritated by the fact that technology magazines are using sex to sell 
themselves.  i have a copy of 'stuff' and 't3' and both have semi naked 
models holding the gadgets and things being reviewed.  i find it very 
annoying, because im only interested in the gadgets.  if i wanted mild porn 
then i'd buy FHM!
