Men's mag runs win-a-divorce competition

Monday Apr 14 00:02 AEST
First it ran a boob job competition, now a men's magazine is set to cause outrage again by giving its readers the chance to score a divorce.

Zoo Weekly is inviting men to explain why they deserve an expenses paid split from their partner, promising to take care of it all for the winner - from the legal costs to hooking up the "lucky" bloke with new women.

"The idea is we're going to try to get this guy out back on the scene and try to set him up with some more suitable girlfriends to have a good time," the Australian magazine's editor Paul Merrill said.

"When a marriage fails it's always sad but what's even sadder is being stuck under the same roof as someone who's shagged your best mate or something.

"This is hopefully going to encourage people to see the error of their ways and get out rather than put up with 40 years of misery."

Asked if the competition could be viewed as encouraging divorce, Merrill said: "You'd have to be pretty nutty to enter a competition to win a divorce if you're happily married".

Zoo Weekly drew widespread criticism from academics and plastic surgeons last year when it offered readers a chance to win their girlfriends a boob job by sending in shots of her cleavage.

The competition was branded unethical, inappropriate and in poor taste.

ROFL at the bolded quote. A men's magazine doing it's bit for society. Fair play I say. It's the first step on the road to bagging one of the babes they feature every week.

Doesn't surprise me at all, its those same magazines telling people that they should all look like/pick up blonde stick insects that leads to much of the infidelity that causes divorce, so the magazine is just taking the next step.

I used to hang out in NYC with some babes you'd see in those magazines, they were hot, far hotter than me, but the pictures were so unrealistic, two hours in make up and airbrushed to make the person unrecognisable.

In my experience, if you give someone a 1000 dollar an hour stylist and make up artist and have a good graphic touch up artist you can make anyone look good on a magazine. Except maybe 6th.

This is what I keep saying to people. If you had the money/time these celebs and models had anyone can look good, especially in magazines with airbrushing.

Great marketing ploy, something like that was bound to get some coverage for the magazine. Fair play, sounds like a good read!

I like it. In fairness it sounds more ethical than any of those celeb rags. I just like the idea of whoever wins it is because the wife did something ****ty, hope she gets pwned.
