On the back cover of the November Men’s Fitness a competitor’s magazine, there seemed to be a NIKE ad with Obama. That is what it appears to be and if anyone can confirm that, I’d like to know if that is definitely what that is. On the cover is Strauss Zelnick who seems to be involved in computer games. The magazine we receive is subscription (subscriptions to help out kids) so the magazine rack at the store could have a different back cover. It made me think of boycotting Nike. Has anyone else seen this advertisment?
Now, I will attest that Runner’s World, from Rodale magazines publisher of Men’s Health had Pres. G.W. Bush on the cover running, I saved that magazine.
Those magazines like Men’s Health and Men’s Fitness are too self-centered, they have struck me and then, quite a few “better” sex articles. Has turned me off a bit.
I subscribed to Men's Health a few years ago. They had some great guy recipes and good workout stuff, and some good fashion stuff for men, including guys in their forties and fifties, like me. A new editor came in and the magazine suddenly became full of "how to score with the kind of sluts I turned down in high school" articles.
I let my subscription lapse and haven't opened the pages in probably five years.
I also agree with other posters that most of these men's magazines now are primarily catalogs for the latest overpriced GPS/Army Knife/Radio/wrist watch or $250 mountain climbing bicycle shorts, but always containing an undercurrent of supposed hipness with snide side comments about conservatives, as if we're all supposed to be in on the joke.
