Lad mags are ruining the nation's boys and men! announced Britain's conservative education spokesman, Michael Gove. "Titles such as Nuts and Zoo paint a picture of women as permanently, lasciviously, uncomplicatedly available... We should ask those who make profits out of revelling in, or encouraging, selfish irresponsibility among young men what they think they're doing. The relationship between these titles and their readers is a relationship in which the rest of us have an interest." Naughty mags are such an easy scapegoat—if only blaming Nuts was the solution. And how about those men that pepper you with unwanted phone calls, months after we very specifically asked them to stop? (For example.) Can that be blamed on lad mags, too? Hopefully! [Guardian]
