Exciting - I don't like magazines that have loads of those word things in.
Hang on a cockadoodling minute - wasn't the January issue The Naked Issue?
Maybe every issue's going to be The Naked Issue?
Maybe they'll change GT's name to N?

Maybe they'll change GT's name to Zzzzzz.
ReplyDeleteSeeing these constant naked issues, it feels like GT are sort of desperately clinging to the readership who merely buy the magazine coz it's got Andrew Haydn Smith in his pants.
ReplyDeleteLike, they're not looking long-term anymore; changing the magazine to appeal to a broader audience - almost like they know it's folding and are just scraping the barrel to get through as many issues as they can before even those who still buy it get fed up and stop altogether.
It's like they have no respect for the magazine itself or even the point of a gay press at all.
Things like this are often imposed from above.
ReplyDeleteGT is better than it's been for many a year...
The thing is, I don't buy it anymore 'cause it's purely sold on the sex and why would I spend £5 on a wank mag when there's plenty of (better) porn on the internet. And not just porn - pictures of hot blokes with their tops are ten a penny on the web, so I'm surprised it's sold on that aspect at all - I'm surprised there's a "readership" for that stuff, I mean.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise there was good writing inside - that's certainly not the impression you ever get from the covers.
As with the pink pound myth you write about, there's this sort of disconnect between this small priveleged bubble and what most (gay) people's lives are like.
I think it's everywhere, not just ver gay culture: switch on the TV and most of what you see is middle class people baking cakes, buying houses, moving abroad... they discuss politics but it's more about the political class, the maneouvering, the drama of what's going on in Westminster rather than what THEY are doing is affecting US.
They said the riots were because the kids in those neighbourhoods were ignored by society which is true, I think, but there's whole HUGE sections of society that don't appear to exist according to the media.
GT looks like a lifestyle mag, like GQ or something - but it's not supposed to be about a small section of priveleged society like GQ - it's supposed to be about all of us.
What was my point, I hear you ask.
Up yours, bumface!!!
