Gay Magazines: Hot, New And Not Here!

Spotted at WH Smith in Leamington Spa by @twinkleboi [via Twitter].
This is what an anti-sex, pro-censorship group, The Front Page Campaign, have been working on since last year.
Don't say I didn't try and warn you...

Update: The initial, official response is that both magazines "were being regularly shoplifted"...

    Will this be reported in GT or Attitude, I wonder?
    Some sort of campaign or fight-back initiated by them, as Pink News clearly don't give a fuck.

    Both Darren Scott and Matthew Todd are following this up - now it's happened.
    I did warn them, several times...

    Well to be honest it is probably only gearing down as circulation for these mags continue to fall.

    Attitude have now decided that because some of the "flash trash" advertisers aren't happy to be in a magazine with things like sexlines, porn etc - the "tacky" advertisers will no longer be accepted as of September 1st.

    So expect less porn, less lads with kit off - and lots of adverts for nice watches, time share and overpriced cars.

    With the gay papers, Chronos used to "print and pulp" so they could claim xx,000 were printed but they used to arrive in one van, and then most of them were on their way again to be pulped same day.

    Bit corrupt - but then when they "burn companies" to avoid paying your debts you don't really expect much in the way of integrity from them do you?

    I'm pretty sure when Attitude first startedIN 94 they had a tactic/policy of refusing "smutty" (gay) ads, in the hope that it would attract blue-chip, "classy" (straight) advertisers. Then they slowly conceded it wasn't working...

    I call NUTS!
    And let the little cock-hungry teenage gaylords nick whatever gaying magazines they want.
    There is some hot cock shots in some of them, surely.
    Good day!

    "And let the little cock-hungry teenage gaylords nick whatever gaying magazines they want."

    They treat everyone like potential thieves anyway.
