A friend called Tom told me he went into WHSmith, and opened up the lads mags on explicit pages and placed them all round the shop, and near the entrance, to expose to customers, the degrading and pornographic content of these magazines. He said one woman went up to one of the opened lads mags, and said, 'I don't like that, I don't like that at all!' and promptly closed it!This is a great way to

At present, Lads Mags and The Sport are sold in most newsagents, supermarkets and in many high street shops, such as WHSmith, Woolworths, HMV, Borders...Most often, they are not

Manchester's local Porn Detective will soon be policing local newsagents and shopping malls, to catch men reading pornography. Any men caught reading lads mags or pornographic newspapers will be issued with a warning and face public humiliation.

WHSmith sell 'adult porn', as in fully nude porn, and The Daily Sport, in train stations and airports.

It seems to be a prerequisite for women who go into the Big Brother house, that they are willing to parade around in their bikinis, snog women, and strip for the lads mags on release.Through my research I have come to the conclusion that Big Brother and Lads Mags are working together to groom porn stars.In every lads mag I have bought for this blog, they have had a focus on women in the Big

UPDATE 30.06.06Thank you Nuts for updating your message board, yesterday, so that you now clearly state that a person has to be over 18 before they post a partially nude photo of themselves. Also, thank you for adding the clause 6.4 to your terms and conditions which states that in order to upload a partially nude photo of yourself, you have to be over 18... You may say you are 'smarter' than me.

I've come across this photo on the nuts online message board. It is the profile photo of a female member who has entitled this photo 'perv'. The Nuts message board is where women/girls can upload naked photos of themselves in hope of getting into Nuts. This child looks about 3 years old. Furthermore, why are there pictures of children on a pornographic message board..?

Thanks to Laura in Sheffield for emailing these pics to me.WHSmith in Sheffield train station (13.06.06). As you can see, these lads mags are shelved at the eye level of a child. WHSmith clearly are not following NFRN guidelines or their own top shelf policy.WHSmith Sheffield train station (13.06.06)The Daily Sport is a pornographic 'newspaper'. The little news it reports on usually has a sexual

ZOO 16th - 22nd June 2006The results are in...The woman you most want to...breast-feed you is...Lucy Pinder (who I hear you say..? She's a regular model in ZOO)"...it's...hardly surprising that it's the 32G charms of Pinder that the nation's men would like to suckle. "You don't want it to dry up too soon," explains Mark from Sunderland" (pg.55). Well...at least they are aware that breasts have a

Mike Skinner from The Streets had to make an apology to Rachel Stevens for saying his song, 'Fit But You Know It...' was written about her...although he should be apologising about something else... Nuts: 'Why did you recently apologise to Rachel Stevens..?'Skinner: 'A woman from The Daily Star came up in a nightclub and asked,"Who is 'Fit But You Know It' about?"...she wouldn't go away...so I

A good way of challenging lads mags is to target companies who advertise in them. So if you have time, please contact these companies to complain that they are supporting magazines that are degrading towards women.Adverts in Zoo and Nuts:Virgin Mobile and MegastoresBurger KingThree MobileAdverts in ZOO:HMVDrench Still Spring WaterHalfordsSony EricssonVO5 Hair VodafoneAA LoansAdverts in Nuts:

Zoo 26th May - 1st June In this edition (pg. 39), they refer to a fully clothed picture of Jessica Alba:'We like hilarious promo shots as much as the next man. But, and call us stupid, we prefer pictures of Jessica Alba in a bikini. Or slowly bending over on a beach. Or, preferably, naked and bound in our loft.'This is a very dodgy thing to say...sounds rather unconsensual...Also, they have a

These two photos were taken in WHSmith Kendal (02.06.06). Again WHSmith are promoting ZOO and Nuts by placing them on these promotional stands.Asda Kendal (24.05.06). Here Zoo, Nuts and FHM aren't top shelf and Zoo is even promoted on a stand at eye level.

This photo was taken in WHSmith in Lancaster (12.05.06). As you can see, WHSmith are promoting ZOO by placing it on this central stand. Naughty naughty...I thought WHSmith had a top-shelf policy..?

I've been taking photos of lads mags in shops where they are shelved/promoted in an inappropriate way. I am sick of walking into a newsagents or high street shop and being faced with pornographic images of women. Since when did this become acceptable..!?! Lads mags such as Zoo, Nuts and FHM are pornographic and therefore should be treated as so. This means they shoud be on the top shelf above eye
