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.

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.
