Co-op censoring lads mags

[kinboshi]

I agree.  The nanny state seeks to increase it's control by stealth. 

It's not Nanny State though.

It's the Co-op.

But aren't they getting pressure from government to do it?  Haven't read the article so might be completely wrong, but thought it would be them same as the hiding of cigarettes behind the counter by Tesco.

It matters not where it's coming from, it's all the same PC bullshit irrespective of who is pushing it. Nailed on its some opinionated individual high up in the co-op who has pushed for this and his/her colleagues are too weak to say GTFO and concentrate on more important stuff.

Think it's important stuff for the anti-PC brigade to get really upset about.

Actually I think it's important for us to point out all the small stuff also, as that in particular is the BS that might go unnoticed and so the creep towards PC'ness continues....

Indignation about the changes to the covers of lad's mags will definitely halt this oppressive and taliban-like censorship we're experiencing in this country. 

It's the principle, many small steps over a period of time = one large step.

Maybe it'd be a step forward?

So pathetic. Exactly who is this protecting from what? When I was 12/13 I used to walk very slowly past these mags, usually wearing sunglasses and pretend I was looking at the PC GAMER magazine in the hope to get a glimpse of a half naked woman.

On a similar note I've had many conversations with my Dutch girlfriends family at the dinner table about censorship and it is just them making funny of the British way we do things. We censor everything it's pathetic!

Not for me I'm afraid.

My Mrs used my i-pad the other day to look for leather fireside chairs. What a fail that was! Lesbian lovers in the jacuzzi popped up on search first pick. Hehe.

I felt exactly the same 30 years ago when my mum found my porn mag stash.

However if boobs offend some people then cover the mags up. Slavery was considered the norm not so long ago and smoking on a plane. Great debate this because some people find the burkha offensive so it's difficult to please one group and not the other.

Because being moderately offended is a disgrace to our human rights. It's just a British thing I guess and it'll never change. The BBC can't say shit without 40,000 people writing in letter of complaints.

The PC crew won't be happy until we are all completely asexual. Many of them already have their nuts in pickling jars on the mantle piece above the fireplace.

Of course, none of them are women

It was the women that did the slicing and pickling

Stewart Lee is likely left of most people's tastes, but his satirising of the PC Gone Mad expression is first class.

(Please be aware that the first clip particularly features some expressions that might offend)





I do understand where you're coming from, as much as this seems like I'm not taking you seriously. There's a much bigger debate than over magazine covers but that's for another day.

Love Stewart Lee. Super sharp mind.
2nd favourite stand up of all time (after Tim Minchin)

I would not consider a footballer a role model for children so would you then have to wrap a football mag in plastic ? To what level do you take this once you start ?

Tits don't offend me in the slightest, but I don't like having to explain why they are on the front of a magazine to my 5yo granddaughters when we pop into Co-op for sweets.

[DaveShoelace]

Lads Mags are just porn for cowards anyway, perhaps this will force consumers to just buy razzle instead and have done with it.

Or better yet, go on the internet.

I don't really see the issue when Page 3 is about. Are they going to put Daily Sport etc into folders? Same thing.

You buy a 5yo sweets! I am morally outraged! How can you be so irresponsible and introduced a young and impressionable mind to the warped attraction of sugar! She has plenty time to find out for herself whether she wants sugar to affect her life rather than you pushing it down her throat!

Infact, lets wrap all sugary treats in black wrappers too. I mean surely that would stop the worlds obesity problems
