I loved MAxim when it first came out. I have had a subscription for nearly three years now. However, I will probably not renew it. The mag has gone downhill over the past two years. When I first started reading it, I loved it because it was a "mens magazine" with very few fashion adds. now, there are almost a dozen before the table of contents, just like GQ and Esquire.

Secondly, the articles have gotten unoriginal. Its the same "Sex advice" re-packaged as something "fresh", when its all widely known things or just general stupidity. How long can they keep printing "Sex columns" that say the same thing every month. Borring!

Also, their stupid "hair color" products and commercials irriate the hell out of me. If some freak of a girl tried to lick my hair.....

They have done many, many very funny things(dotcom-opoly, to mention a good one), but they have played out all the jokes that their brand of humor is made up of.

It was great while it lasted. The writers and editors let success go to their heads.

I agree, this picture offends me. Send me lotsa money, small unmarked bills please.

BTW, what is it with feminazis, and writing on themselves with Sharpies? I have automatically decided that all "hate crimes" that include Sharpies are bogus until proven otherwise.

Does that mean that she is formally setting as policy for the university that ALL examples of porn, soft or otherwise, are no longer permitted on campus?

What about all those sexual awareness and information seminars that happen on college campi?

According to Ann, Maxim is now considered offensive, and anyone who has it in their possession can be sued. Does that mean that she is formally setting as policy for the university that ALL examples of porn, soft or otherwise, are no longer permitted on campus? After all, how will a student or professor know what constitutes a violation, without her strong guidance in the form of a written policy?

This "making it up as we go along" policy shouldn't make through any type of law suit. Anyway, I doubt Ann can just make up rules on her own. Stupid crap. If I was Willie, I'd tell her and the two complainers to show me the written policy I agreed to, or F!ck off.

Spot on analysis. I find myself migrating to STUFF magazine since they have more gadgets and scantily clad birds. The mens fashion pages are just a waste of damn space.

Still, there's always the Man Show on telly so life isn't too bad.

Man, maxim sure has made you a lot less sensitive than you used to be! :)

Making it up as we go along makes life much easier for the Feminazis who want to control all the men in their lives. I dare her to even start to write a policy, much less to enforce it uniformly across the campus. No more cheerleaders, no more gay days, no more lezzi-fare days. No more co-ed rooms, probably have to outlaw beer, since it leads to unintended consequences.

I forgot! None of those college students would dare to drink until they are 21, or to hit a bong. Ann has in one fell swoop solved all disciplinary problems on campus!

/sarcasm. What a control freak she is! Dominatrix, maybe?

Hang the lawyers!!!

No, no, I think you're mistaken this time. I think a good conservative lawyer, probably from FIRE, is just the prescription for this overly constipated bereaucrat. I wonder if he might actually be able to get some sort of injunction against these maroons, given that they have explicitly threatened to abuse their internal process for the explicit purpose of harassing and inconveniencing the student.

Ya know, PL, my brain hurts trying to think up outrageous examples of their stupidity, and where it could lead us.

I think that the college distributes a harrassment policy in their handbooks. Why bother if these policies are only to allow her to bully those souls she selects?

Bully... I wonder if her harrassment policy outlaws bullying tactics by the administration?

Two fellow students, both women, complained to their professor, Jean Whitney, that they were offended and distracted by the image.

Tempting, but I'm not going there.
