So-called 'lad mags' like Zoo and Nuts are helping to fuel a rise in feckless fatherhood, according to the Conservative Party.

Stupid fucking cunts, as soon as the Conservatives get a sniff of power, they are turning into the sort of authoritarian fuckwits Labour have become. I wish these motherfuckers would just get the message: leave us alone you dickless bastards, we don't need you to run our fucking lives for us.

Self appointed custodians of family values, making a 'do as I say not as I do' rod for their own back again. Contemptible jokers !

They can't hold a candle to the 'fecklessness' promoted by the awful braindead magazines aimed at young women - even the adverts for these trash mags emphasise the idiocy of their target audience.
The 'lads mags' are being targetted by some headline-hungry pillock politicians due to their high 'T&A' content, wheras the dreaded likes of 'Pick Me Up', 'Take A Break', 'OK' etc etc etc aren't as sexual but are as guilty (if not more so) of promoting general idiocy to people slip-sliding towards Jeremy Kyle-dom. Of course it's not very politically correct to label the army's of tattooed single mothers whom these mags are directly aimed at as 'feckless'....
Nuts indeed.

Christ almighty. What sort of 30yr old, or even 25yr old, reads Zoo or Nuts? 14-17 would be nearer the mark, for Pete's sake. Cheap, fag-end derivatives of forerunners Loaded, FHM etc. The 'Lad' publishing boom hit its stride just as the last Con. Govt was running out of steam, and ran out of steam itself around 2000.
Mind you, it's almost traditional for Govts to get it arse over tit when it tries to tackle or simply identify pop culture. Move along now, nothing to see here.

Politicians appear in magazines such as GQ and Esquire which have their quotient of tits and arse and hedonism, but QQ and Esquire are shifting Land Rovers and three grand watches too so that's okay. I wonder too how many tory MP's have financial interests in the same publishing companies that produce the magazines they're critical of ?

It muust come to something when politicians have to start pointing the blame at a magazine now.
I'm surprised they havent accused the top shelf mags of genocide for all the seed that is spilled looking at those. maybe they should take the editiors to The Hague for war crimes.
Oh sorry to mention adult porn mags is to accept they actually exist so lets do the british thing and look the other way.
Porn magazines? What porn magazines??? Ah these lads mags are a safe bet instead...
