Should Lads' Mags Have To Cover Up?
And is it fair that Zoo, Nuts, FHM etc are being told to cover up, when Attitude (which features equally 'salacious' pictures of men on it's front covers) isn't?

I'm a little concerned about this news. Are there cannibal tribes still flourishing somewhere in this world & if so are the Co op depriving them of their

\\\\Pathetic !
They lack the ability to get the real thing so they have to resort to pictures,. What an admission of inferiority. \\\\
Eh? are you saying that men who lust after pictures of women in mags, are not getting the "real thing?"
That may be the case, but i bet that many men who ARE "getting the real thing" are the one's who are looking at the magazines.
Modeller...could i put it to you, that the "real thing" has become so boring, repetitive and uninteresting" that looking at the provocative pictures in mags, brings back the past pleasures.....even if it is only in their mind.

Ah but Octavius - the difference between Cosmopolitan and (say) Nuts or The Sunday Sport, is that the nudity is on the inside, never the front page.
Also, when Cosmopolitan or Attitude run their annual 'Naked' editions (normally for a cancer charity), the issue will be delivered sealed.
Personally, I can see the reasoning behind Co-Op's decision, because by and large, they are unable to put these magazines away on the top shelf (as newsagents do), because the physical design of supermarkets don't lend themselves to having top shelves.
One has to wonder though - is the Co-op demanding that the publishers actually pay for the extra packaging themselves?

When I was a paper boy, many years ago, I would have thought it terribly unfair for these mags to be covered up. First they put them up on high shelves where the paper boys can't reach...now they want to put them to bags !
But as a responsible adult ( well, fairly responsible) It can't do any harm to make them a little less obvious I suppose. It would seem the Co-op are going to stop selling them altogether, unless the magazine proprietors agree.
