Last year, Front, Nuts and Loaded ceased publication (Loaded relaunched as an online only publication a week ago), now FHM and Zoo have just announced that they are also ceasing publication. http://www.bauermedia.co.uk/newsroom/press/an-announcement-regarding-fhm-and-zoo-magazines There was a time when these magazines commanded advertising rates of £30k a page, but they've been on the slide for years and only more premium titles seem to be making a go of it. Does anyone on here buy magazines any more? I read Jocks and Nerds, but only because they send me a free copy each issue.
I'd like to think that my purchasing of these mags reflected most other men's purchasing of these mags, i.e. in my mid to late teens, wanted to see tits and fit birds, the internet wasn't quite at the level needed to give instant, free and easy access to said tits and fit birds so it was the best option available......now though, any teen lad can easily access porn on a smart phone, nullifying the attractiveness of these magazines. Am genuinely surprised that so many newspapers are still printed and bought as it's so easy to get all the news online nowadays
He's a decent bloke (even if he is from Leeds), I used to advertise a fair bit with Loaded back in the day and I advertised in the first few issues of his own magazine Jack, which I thought was by far the best Men's mag around when he launched. Sadly, it didn't last long, it was possibly too big a leap in quality from the lads mags that were big at the time.
Its not just lads mags, porn mags have died a death, I think I saw in the news not so long ago that Penthouse was stopping having nude women in it. Its all too easily accessible on line now, no need for lads mags, porno mags or videos etc.
Did Lucy Pinder ever get her tits out in these mags, I lost track in about 2005, made passable reading on train journeys
Pet food used to have added bone meal as a filler. The bone was poorly digested and passed through. It acted as a binding agent in the feces and when the other material decayed , the feces was white.
Well this has cheered my day. My general life rule is - 'if you read Nuts, Loaded or Zoo, then you're a ****'.
