| Decent Magazines?
So, the other day I'd finished my book and wanted some train reading and bought Front.
Whilst I respect the 100% natural boob policy, there isn't that much appeal or anything really worth reading in it, even though I get the impression that its one of the better magazines.
Are there any decent general/laddy magazines that'll occupy someone for more than 5 minutes? or do I need to stick to the actual car mags (Evo & Top Gear)?

Just buy Empire or Edge. | |

I used to buy loads... FHM and Loaded every month; Front fairly often (though it's pretty low-rent) but after a while, they get very very repetitive. GQ always seemed too full of pictures of shoes to wear to the office for me. Nuts and Zoo have taken the whole concept to a new low, I just couldn't buy 'em.
I only seem to buy magazines at airports now and it tends to be New Scientist (which doesn't have many exposed breasts) or National Geographic (which does, but primitive tribespeople don't count).
The New Yorker is the world's best and most stylish magazine and everyone should read it. Not a lads' mag but there's more to life than just tits!

All the ones I used to read seem to have gone downhill since I used to read them. | |

"LADZ MAGZ"~!!! are horrendous. I'd be embarrassed as hell to able to actively participate in a discussion about buying them, or which one was the best. Develop a personality and you might just be able to see real naked girls for free instead. | |

The Economist is a much better read than it's title would suggest. | |

But yeah, they seem mostly redundant to me now.

Can't believe anyone would buy 'Front' and then complain there wasn't enough reading in it.
That's kinda like paying for an ugly whore and then moaning she didn't have any interesting chat afterwards. | |

"Listen, sweetheart, don't worry. I assure you that I am a respectable gentleman, and I promise you that I'm only in it for the art... Please be assured that there is nothing perverse behind the desire to photograph naked and scantily-clad women here at Desova Photography. Now, if you don't mind, in this shoot I'd like to attempt some revolutionary new techniques I read about in an article in the latest issue of FRONT MAGAZINE~!!".
