As always, the question is, is he sorry that his mag printed something so tasteless, or sorry that it could cost him money in lost subscriptions ? FHM, from what I see in the newsagents, is basically a mag full of pictures of women wearing as little as they are willing to be seen on camera in, and storys about sex and sport. Basic bogan fare - I'm not surprised that people who play football are reading it. Christian Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 During last 10 years, with invention of VB and similar programming environments, every ill-educated moron became able to develop software. - Alex E. - 12-Sept-2002

Which at least is (very) slightly better than Maxim (it's main competition here) which is one picture of a woman wearing very little on the cover and 96 pages of adverts!

I have to say I was a very firm believer in FHM for a while. Although full of pretty base stuff, it was reasonably entertaining. Haven't bought an issue for years now so I can't comment on its current incarnation. For something even lower check out Loaded (not sure if that's just a UK one though).

My problem with FHM and it's kin is the whole encouragement of the "player" attitude. That of to be a real man involves scoring as often as possible with the hottest chicks. Being smooth and charming and ultimately very false. They talk about how to get a woman in bed in 3 easy moves and crap like that. And the humour is as bottom of the barrel as you can get. Everytime they refer to a cat (pussy) they snigger as if that is the funniest thing on earth. Tasteless is not the word and yet these magazines are getting more popular. And really we all know what the magazines are about. Fans of the magazines say "oh but it isn't all bums and boobs, there are intellectual articles on fashion, gadgets and how to get a six pack in six days!" pfffftt might as well claim that the reason you visit a pron site is to read the scintilatingly erudite "stories" about peoples inner emotions. If guys want to look at scantily clad babes then fine, I know I do and there is not much wrong in it. But then we/they should say so and not hide behind a "trying to be a better man" rubbish.
