I'm not into any sort of glossy mags, but i hate when people want to ban things just because they don't like them

I thought it was obvious the OP was simply having a light hearted rant as opposed to seriously calling for censorship and/or the immediate execution of all involved in the publication of them, including their friends, family and pets.

I completely agree with this thread, by this thread i mean the first post and by the first post i mean the title. I was in a shop the other day at lunch and I saw at least 30 of these things on the shelf, and this shop was not latge by any streach of the imagination so that would lead me to believe there are many more out there, somewhere....

Not wishing to go off-topic or anything but what are people's thoughts on matte magazines?

I can't stand those bull-**** magazines. Like what was mentioned earlier every waiting room/reception area has them and I really don't know why anyone would want to look at them, for example:

A few weeks ago I was in a waiting room and it was just me and this one other guy left. He looked like an intellegent chap but then he picked up one of those mags and started filcking through it, finished it and went on to the next one. Then he turned to show me some pictures of a 'celebrity' and says "look at that, that's disgraceful, I can't stand these magazines". I asked him why the hell he was reading them if he hated them and he says "becuase the people in them annoy me"

I like where youre going with this, lets ban all unworthwhile news. There would be about 2 papers 3 pages long each in the country and the 6.01 would be over at 6.02.

I hate those magazines. The worst one is the one (cant remember which it is) with Brian McFadden's ex-wife in it every week. There's always some revelation about how she eats hamburgers all day and pops pills because of Brian...... she's so depressed.... bleh bleh bleh.... She is a waste of space. But the magazine is a disgrace for printing these stories in the first place, creating a printed record of the parents fighting over the kids. When the kids grow up (dunno what age they are) and read all this, you can imagine it would not be good for them.

But yeh, Kerry is the worst person in the world. Yes worse than Hitler.

You're worse than Hitler.

Regarding the comments about Jordan; Whatever you may think of her persona (and I personally do not think much of it), you have to hand it to her for her business mind. The woman is a multi-millionaire. Skanky sells, but who's buying?

"Yeah, women are pretty thick for reading such crap") but it's a v interesting argument about why women buy these magazines in the first place.

Well, I've mentioned it before on this site; apparently the reason why women are so fascinated in celebrity gossip and soaps etc. is because their brains are geared more towards group social interaction. A throwback to our primitive tribal days (have we ever escaped those days?). It's discussed in Human Instinct by Robert Winston. A cracking read.

The profane are encouraged to engage in such distractions.
