I was going to stay out of this one, but in order to make sure the facts
remain straight, I will answer this one.

On her show on Friday she was going on about being No 68 on the list but
she hadn't actually seen the magazine so didn't know what they had said
about her.

So being a sad muppet (there you go, I've said it), I typed up what was in
the mag and emailed it to her. 

She read out the email and said "Thank You".

Not just them (they're also for boys in their early teens who can't buy
Razzle). And my missus is a Loaded reader. She says that she genuinely likes
the articles and the magazine's sense of humour, but then she says that she
genuinely likes me, so I suppose that puts her taste into question! :)

If you see it lying around the reading 'Getting away with it - the story
of Loaded' by Tim Southwell is worth an afternoon (probably not worth
buying unless it's cheap though) if only for the first few chapters
about how they set up the magazine and the last few about how it started
to go wrong, the middle chapters are basically just anecodotes about
some of the interviews they did and aren't overly interesting. 

After Loaded started eating into and then eventually surpassing their
market share FHM et al changed their image to take a slice of the Lads'
Mags market.

I always viewed sex as a physical act that's great with someone you
love, but it can be pretty darned good even with someone you wouldn't
want to talk to.

The grudge-fuck after a breakup is often better (from a physical
standpoint) than the sex during a relationship.  Or so my ex's tell
me. ;)

I seem to recall some comic giving a rant to the effect of "Used to be
just the magazines on the top shelf, everyone knew where they were,
everyone knew what they were for. Then these FHM, Loaded, etc though -
huh?  What are they, for blokes who "aren't sure" if they want to

eighties anyway...

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

Don't think you're in that much of a minority. But it seems top-shelf
magazines are becoming more acceptable in some circles these days. 

I suspect the current 'Lad's' magazines phase is a backlash against the
crazy political correctness of the 80's .. hopefully the whole thing will
settle down eventually. I don't particularly care that much about it. The
women in things like FHM are most certainly in there by choice and doing
rather nicely from the whole thing thankyou. They are of course brainless
bimbettes but thats another matter. I do find it rather objectionable is
having them learing off the counter of every petrol station and
newsagent you go to, when they should be on a nice high shelf somewhere.

I'm sure I'm really in the minority here, but I can't be the only one who 
finds all this discussion of the FHM list distasteful. I've never really 
understood why intelligent men find it acceptable to objectify women in 
this way.

And besides, since when could you work out how sexy a woman (or man) was 
simply by looking at a photo.

The really interesting bit was Mr Ford dancing around in his living
room crowing because Sara Cox had read his name out on the radio.

The thing comes in a bloody big cardboard box ffs! Makes checking it out a 
real pain.

If you're getting it for the piccies, I would suggest you don't bother.
Whilst SMG gets a full page, the picture of Miss Hannigan is small and a
reprint of one of the ones from the photo shoot she did for FHM last year.

Oh, you bastards. You utter, utter, utter bastards.

I'm going to have to actually *buy*, and furthermore be seen non-dead
with, a copy of FHM now. London PM, you are sick, twisted and evil
people.
