"Maxim" magazine: pure crap

[ForrestGump]

I think so, anyway.

Sure, I appreciate a comely female form as much as anyone, but I hate this junk magazine's manner of presenting such or just about anything else. I've seen a few issues, lately, and I have found a few gems buried away inside each, but most of the magazine's garbage. It's like a men's magazine (the naked-picture kind, that would be) for neutered wimps...it's one thing to suggest without showing, but Maxim is just censored, playing it boringly safe while thinking itself edgy and hip. Not that I care, because it's the editorial tone that gets to me: smart-alec (and not in a good way...an unjustifiably superior tone that probably goes right over the pointy heads of many of the magazine's adherents) and dripping with overtones sexist, downright misogynistic, homophobic, and xenophobic. It is, perhaps, the perfect magazine for the Average American Male F***wit, Millennium Edition. It's the magazine equivalent of the overweight frat boy who wears the "No fat chicks" T-shirt...obnoxious, narcissistic, and just asking for a swift kick to the gonads.

I hate it, and the smarmy little f***wits who think they're so clever in their editorial glory. Total junk, regardless of the occasional hidden gem and bodacious babes.

F*** Maxim and the frat boy it rode in on.
