It really is all getting a bit silly now. I'm fully expecting a series of public service announcements informing us masturbating cause hairs on the palms of your hands and blindness next.

[Ke1t]

Vote with your wallet and don't shop there for anything at all.

 

Is 'Co-operative' just the CO-OP with a fancied-up name?

[jassb]

I used to buy Loaded all the time. Don't now I'm older, but for fuck sake this is madness. It's not as though the covers have naked birds, just in bikinis usually. That's hardly going to corrupt kids. Ban kids from beaches next maybe?

[spamspamspam]

Wrong.

 

Government also all over it like a rash. Add that to the porn filter they are also bringing in and its clear we no longer live in a democratic country that respects the freedom and rights of the individuals that live in it.

 

Voting with your wallet will do nothing Kelt, with the circulation of Zoo being around 0.06% of the population and with most Co-Op's being the local shop situated in housing estates it would do very little to their profit margin.

 

Most people these days are also too stupid to realise exactly what is being taken away from them. If the bandwagon is sold as as PC one that everyone should agree with they blindly jump on and regurgitate the propaganda thats been used by very vocal minorities to get whatever infringement on our freedoms they are peddling as fact while scowling and sneering at anyone that dares to say hud on a sec here, when did I move to fuckin North Korea like?

 

censoring pictures of girls in fucking bikinis FFS

There's a chipping away of basic freedoms, and there has been for years. Every year more laws are added, more things you can't do. It's cumulative, it's insidious, and it happens this way so that you don't even know it's happening. Like boiling a frog.... raise the temperature slowly so by the time it realises shit's going down it's too late to do anything about it.

 

The less freedom a populace has the happier government is.

 

Politicians don't get involved in politics because they care about their fellow man. They get involved in politics because they like power and they like to control others.

 

Unfortunately most people don't have the sense they were born with...

 

I would worry less about covering up Lads Mags and more about, oh, shit like Section 44, though.

 

There's your freedoms.

[Big Man]

Recruiting brutal young roughs into the police, proposing debilitating and will-sapping techniques of conditioning. Oh, we've seen it all before in other countries. The thin end of the wedge. Before we know where we are, we shall have the full apparatus of totalitarianism. The people - the common people - must know, must see. There are great traditions of liberty to defend. The tradition of liberty is all. The common people will let it go. Oh yes. They will sell liberty for a quieter life - that is why they must be led, sir, driven, pushed!!

I'm actually agreeing with the weemin on this one, I think these magazines are barely disguised porn and should not be on display in a supermarket.

[chaos_defrost]

Don't see how it bothers the consumer in anyway tbh. You can still buy the mags if you want to. Same with internet porn. You might object to giving your details in order to do so but the government is monitoring what people use the internet for anyway and people that use sites like facebook and twitter are putting stupid amounts of information about themselves on the internet. The people that would have a genuine grievance would be the people that make the mags and the people that sell them.

So this

 

 

Is worse that this?

 

 

 

 

Would they make this get covered as well, its a womans mag?

 

 

Might as well just have them all like the way they want the smokes

 

[BrianFaePerth]

Thon porn filter made me laugh. A nightmare situation for each man in the house. Admit to the wife you like to have a good wank in front of your computer when she's out, or eliminate one of your sources of pleasure

 

 

 

 

Or just get a VPN

_{I don't care what they take away. I have the capability to bang one out to the People's Friend if I have to. You can take my pornos, but you'll never take my perversions.}

You've been living in the wilderness too long, it's the 21st Century, get out of your cave min.

 

In Scandinavia hard core porn mags compete on the same counter as milk and bread, they don't see the point in hiding the human body, why should it be some guilty secret. We should all be permitted to roam about as god intended if we want and we should be free to look at others who freely choose to show their body off to others. It hurts no one.

 

One notes your neck of the woods was hit by another scandal, those god fearing monks who no doubt would have objected to these type of mags and drinking on a Sunday just happened to be raping all the children they were looking after over the course of decades, what's their excuse for being depraved!

No here they dinna

Ahh, my experience was from Denmark, thought it would be the same all over.

Fort Augustus is about half the length of Scotland away from my neck of the woods, on the opposite coast.

 

Geography clearly not your strong point you thick cunt.

You, my good sir, have won the thread.

Clearly not when he considers Scandanavia as a country.

 

The Finnish are funny bastards about all that carry on. Not overly keen on the whole Scandanavia thing if I recall.

The highlands and islands are all the same to me, all hector and hamish inbreds, no matter the distance no doubt you'll be related to them.

I never said Scandinavia was a country.

Nuts, the weekly that along with arch-rival Zoo shook up the men's magazine market a decade ago but attracted criticism for their sexist portrayal of women, is to close.

IPC Media said on Monday that it had entered a 30-day consultation with the 25 staff who work on the Nuts magazine and Nuts.co.uk website about the closure.

Paul Williams, managing director of IPC's Inspire division, said: "After 10 years at the top of its market, we have taken the difficult decision to propose the closure of Nuts and exit the young men's lifestyle sector. IPC will provide impacted staff with all the support they need during the consultation process."

Nuts launched in January 2004, just ahead of Bauer Media's Zoo, and at the height of its popularity had an average weekly circulation of more than 300,000.

However, both magazines have suffered years of sales decline, along with most other paid-for titles in the men's sector. Nuts had a circulation of just over 53,000 in print in the second half of 2013, according to the latest official ABC sales figures, plus nearly 9,000 digital editions.

Zoo, which has always lagged behind Nuts in sales terms, had a circulation of less than 30,000 in the same period.

Nuts and Zoo's circulations dropped by one third year on year in the second half of 2013, after both titles' publishers pulled them from Co-op stores.

This came after they refused the supermarket chain's demand that both magazines be distributed with modesty bags to shield pictures of naked women from shoppers.

The retailer said it was acting on the concerns of its customers when it ordered Nuts, Zoo, Front and Loaded to hide their lurid front covers or be taken off its shelves.

Nuts and Zoo were defined from the outset by publishing more overtly sexual content than more expensive monthly rivals such as Loaded and FHM, which were forced go more downmarket in response.

However, after 2007 sales of both weeklies went into longterm decline, not least because readers who wanted to look at scantily clad, topless or naked women could find far more risqué material online for free.

 

Used to be well cheap:

 

[BrianFaePerth]

Kelly Brook would still get it

[Tyrant]

Used to buy them both when I was working in a warehouse with a lot of down time. As well as half naked women I used to quite enjoy their mildly comical take on fitba. Although I remember one of them listed an ICT v Aberdeen fixture in a "couldron of hate" feature as if it was was some sort of poweder keg of a match waiting to ignite with unruly fans brawling on the streets and in the stands. Fucking nonsensical, lazy, bullshit "journalism". Obviously weren't too concerned with things like facts. I actually bought one of them (Nuts I think?) recently in an airport because I had some time to kill. I remembered it being better than it was that time. Fuck them both. Cunts.

[Henry]

Similarly, you're not too "conserned" with things like spelling.

[Tyrant]

Thanks Harcus. Send me the proof reading bill.

[Henry]

Thanks Harcus. Send me the proof reading bill.

 

You might want to have a look at "couldron" and "poweder" as well.

 

No charge.

[Tyrant]

Thanks again Harcus. Your kindness knows no bounds. And to think some folk on this forum would have me believe that you're some sort of cunt.

[Henry]

Shocking isn't it?

[The Boofon]

Shocking isn't it?

It's Nuts.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I dont buy pishy magazines, so dont really give two hoots, but would like to see some consistency acorss the board.

 

For example, magazines aimed at women and homosexuals-men can be just as explicit / lewd as those aimed a men, judging by a glance around the magazine rack.

 

One standard for all - lets see the media lay into womens or gay magazines, see how far they get them.

 

The whole issue is another one driven by self-publicising feminists*

 

(or "Obnoxious hypocritical c*nts" as I call them)
