Shit. Now where will I go for fashion advice pertaining to pink polos, popped collars, and axe body spray?

Tom Haverford has lost his reason for being.

How many Photoshop experts will lose their jobs if Maxim goes under?

I got it for awhile as a freebie. It stank from all the cologne inserts.

Stuff magazine was a hunnerd times hotter.

I don't think it's a bad day for bros so much as it's a bad day for a crappy magazine that desperately tries to market itself to them.

For some unknown reason I subscribed to it from issue 1 or so for a couple years. It was markedly shallow but also had some interesting comedic writing and features. Definitely no New Yorker or Popular Science, but it seemed to be a pretty reasonable guy version of Cosmo(?).

In the interests of Karma - any of y'all realize that Maxim's original creator and publisher went to jail, suffered police abuse and faced criminal deportation for publishing an alt/humor paper in the '70s? (And sparked one of the biggest police corruption investigations in history?)

Basically, this guy (Felix Dennis) and his pals were the Tim 'n' Dan of their day...with hellaciously bigger risks and consequences. (Go Google 'Oz Trial' for more info.)

(Not that I think Maxim was fit for anyone but a horny heterosexual male idiot...but I find the cheering here to be just a touch ironic.)

Wow, bummer, pretty much everything I know about women I learned from Maxim.

@8 Softcore vs. hardcore. Larry Flint.

Maxim was always a bore.

Had a subscription to Maxim for a couple of years, but they just repeated the same stuff over and over. It was time to retire my subscription. Haven't read one in 8 years.

Please wait...
