Stuff and Maxim

Post by Rocketdork » Fri Jul 22, 2005 11:11 am

This week, completely unbidden, two magazines arrived in my mailbox, Stuff and Maxim.

I have looked at them from cover to cover and find them completely devoid of any interesting content. They are like playboy, with out the nudity and interesting articles.

I have no idea how they came to arrive in my mailbox. I didn't order them, I don't want them. They are simply killing trees and calling it a "magazine."

Somebody may have put your name down while subscribing to something. Like say I subscribed to a magazing...sometimes they want you to put somebody elses name so they can try and get you to buy the magazine. Or it is a prank.

Yeah, but they are clothed...the impression that I get is that they are trying to be like playboy, but they fail miserably.

Hot chicks in bikini's and panties are cool, but I am always faced with the desire to see more...not in a gross way, tasteful playboy way...

I don't mind playboy...I can admit I have looked at one. I mean I have brothers and they think it is cool to say, "Hey Kayla, come look at this." Hhehehe. I mean it's not like, OMG! BOOBS! It is like ummm...k...whatever.

What are these mag-uh-zeeens you speak of? Are these anything like webpages?

Yeah... they're just like a website... except the pictures don't move, and it takes a month to see another one.

On the plus side: no keyboard to get sticky.

If there were a command for the computer called "Fuck that ass!", such a feature on your PC might be bad indeed.

Well, it wouldn't matter if you could just wash it.

Well RD sorry to hear of your "dilemma" of getting free magazines with scantily clad women in them. Sucks to be you :)

I actually have a subscription to Maxim (yes feel free to point and laugh, I don't care). I obviously like the pics, but a lot of the articles to me are funny. They are totally written to be funny and not serious. I guess we all have our own tastes. I guess since you didn't like 'em at least you didn't pay for 'em eh? :)
