Men’s Magazines and the Women That Love Them
May 23rd, 2008 by Tuffy Posted in baseball, media, mlb |
We don’t mind that men’s magazines show athletes pumping up and flexing and so on. We suppose there are pockets of athletic men that enjoy looking at other athletic men in four-color glory for inspiration of one type or another. We thought that market might be more niche, but we’ve been wrong before.
But then we saw what Lady… SA purchased this week…
(We assume this is the page 72-73 spread.)
Goodness gracious. ”Don’t think; have fun” indeed.
We love Curtis Granderson’s quick bat, flashy leather, huge smile, and local roots as much as the next person, but… my my my. This really just comes out and says it, doesn’t it? ”For those of you too ashamed to buy porn with men in it, we now give you ‘men’s magazines’. Please feel free to explain to your friends that you were looking for gift ideas for your boyfriend or a new protein shake for your workouts. Just keep the pages clean and no one will know.”
There’s more pictures at SA’s blog; they should keep some of you busy through the holiday weekend. We’ll be back on Tuesday. No podcast today or Tuesday due to holiday obligations (read: booze). We might post between now and then but no promises. And hey, let’s be careful out there this weekend.

The guy at the counter at B&N asked me what I was buying Men’s Health. I told him I wanted to get as close to Curtis Granderson as I possibly could.
We stopped talking after that.
Oh, and it’s pages 64-65. Get it right!

I was merely referring to the content below his flexing form. I can see how you missed it.
Also, it’s not like I don’t have my own problems purchasing pornography at Borders. So.

Holy crap I did miss it!
And to be fair this is my porn.

What a person reads in the privacy of their own home is their own business. Note to self, pick up Men’s Health at the store on Tuesday.

men’s magazines? I’ve been subscribing to GQ (the good stuff) for years. The Curtis spread made me think about subscribing to Men’s Health. Briefly…
