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.
