I was looking at the "Photography, photos you took, photos you are in, photos you like, the lot!" thread and came across McQ's image of the accidental one armed pitcher which I thought was great but it also reminded me of these images that I saw a while back. Any one got any others?

;D I used to read Maxim until I realized it was simply the male counterpart to Cosmo. It did little to improve my dating life and women simply thought I was stupid for reading it.  :)

Both Maxim and Cosmo are pretty idiotic magazines...

Maxim- "men's magazine" gives you tips on sex and how to work out,,etc. Lots of female degrading. Girls in bikinis. Girls in bikinis with a computer (cuz apparently women arent smart,  or use technology.)

Cosmo (or cosmopoliton) -" women's magazine" make up tips, sex tips, pretty much sexism against women by women, thinly veiled as empowering them.

Consider yourself lucky.

You forgot that cosmo is as sexist towards men as maxim is to women. Assuming that is the definition we are using for sexism. :) We are all lying, cheating bastards according to them.

It's too bad the finer points of maxim go unrecognized. How is it different from idiotic LOL sites? The magazine format encourages stewardship. *badum ksh*  8)

This was also the overwhelming impression I got from when I read a copy of Cosmo. Then again so are all lass mags just as the lad mags are sexist towards women. All those kinds of magazines are not worth the paper they are printed on.

Agreed. They are all garbage.  :)

Oh,  i agree. Both magazines are sexists and generalize the genders.  >___<

Hey, I absolutely and positively adore maxim. I don't pull off any of the stunts they have, but it's great jolly old fun. Besides, I don't think they're meant to be taken seriously, like Cosmo.

I agree that the content for both of Maxim and Cosmo is sexist and is geared towards helping one gender manipulate the other. I do find it strange that they both feature scantily clad women, though (or, at least they did the last time I looked. Which was years ago). You'd think that Cosmo would have more dudes in it or something. But no, I guess they figure we'd rather be masochists.

After a quick Google image search, I found this picture from a Maxim; they seemed to have removed a woman's bellybutton.



Are bellybuttons unsexy now?

She's a mark IV clone.
They do offer a custom belly button option on the mark VII, for the fetishists.
