Maxim's Ads

[Don Wassall]

This is an interesting "quiz." I've long noticed that magazines allegedly aimed toward straight men often have many homoerotic ads. And of course mainstream advertising in general is filled with same. It couldn't be that there's an agenda at work, could there?

It's probably because all of the people working in advertising are either gay or women and all of the male models are gay. The only way to have stright men selling products to men it would be to use sports figures but that would risk glorifying white athletes so no-go.

The only time I've ever glanced at Maxim & other "mainstream" Men's mags is in the gym, on the Lifecycle (doing cardio). These rags like Maxim & GQ are full of ads that certainly look targeted towards sodomites or "metrosexuals".

The only magazines I regularly read are pertinent to my industry (IT) & hunting/outdoor mags like Field & Stream, Georgia Sportsman, etc. I rarely read pro-caste "sports" rags like ESPN & SI.
