I did Archaeology a long time ago. I admit my choice wasn't exactly based on careful research and any consideration of what I was going to do after I graduated ... it was more the hope that I'd get to visit places like South America and Egypt and go diving through wrecks or sunken cities. Two...

It's definitely an interesting response to a game rather than just focussing on graphics, controls, level design etc. It shows just how far gaming has progressed that it's characters and scripts which can have the biggest impact on how you feel about the game you're playing. I eventually...

I was a big fan of the X-Files, series after series, and then (SPOILERS AHEAD)... as Mulder found his sister, but it wasn't, then again, but it wasn't, then again, and so on. And Scully, as the more level headed counterpoint to Mulder's "I want to believe", worked really well at the start, but...

I have no problem with the campaign, I find the concept of page 3 rather fatuous - especially with the opinion boxes they've added "Debbie, 19, wonders why the Israelis and Palestinians don't just put things behind them and get along" type stuff. As for the sky sexism row - as far as I...

Yes, there's this http://nomorepage3.org/ They tried a male version for a while in the UK, page 7 or something, but it wasn't popular. I don't imagine page 3 will be around for much longer It's another problem with this focus on lad mags only - when breasts etc are available in several...

It's a campaign run by feminist groups, of course it's about making a statement for feminism. It would be amusing if the modesty bags actually increased sales of lads mags. Anyway the groups don't just want them covered, they want them banned. Their campaign is losetheladsmags not...

Censorship doesn't only mean banning. Writing sh*t with an asterisk is censorship. I'm fine with having them behind boards, put them in covers too - it probably won't be much longer before magazines in general disappear as tech and Internet gets cheaper and cheaper. My point has always been that...

Interesting. A warning for being rude. Point one - Zachary said that he joined the thread because he thought it was linked to government censorship. He also clearly stated that his view on the actual topic of the thread was "zero fucks given", he stayed for a few posts to challenge arguments...

Oh dearie me. "One small victory at a time" riiigght Funny how the small victories show no sign of ever dealing with things in an equal way - the focus continues to be on stuff that feminists complain about, usually anything that men do or have that women want, while blatantly ignoring the...

Thanks Spot 1990. And for comparison here's a cover from Cosmo http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/lea-michele-cosmo-cover.jpg Lads mags get covered. Women's don't. Hey kids ... Can you spell hypocrisy? Maybe you could also explain what it means to Zachary.

Really? You want me to "prove" that women's magazines can have near naked women and references to sex on the cover by listing brand names and you say I have an attitude problem? Cosmopolitan is the most obvious but so many of them do it at one time or other like Glamour or Marie Claire. Is that...

Really? You need someone else to google for you...

The fact that this campaign is aimed only at 'lads mags' is standard feminist hypocrisy. As has already been mentioned - what about the other magazines that have the same visuals and cover lines but do not get covered? In my supermarket the men's magazines are behind boards ... the women's mags...

I just walked past someone cycling who had breasts as big as the sorceress and ... Gasp .. Had a top that was so low cut she was practically resting them on the handlebars - quick - call the sexist oppression police and tell her she's doing it wrong. Think of the children. The...

Film versions of books make all kinds of changes - leave parts out, add in characters, etc - but we still, generally, expect those making the film to at least try to choose an actor/actress who resembles the character. These days though there seem to be more and more films picking people who...
