I never got the whole “rated highly because of hot babe” thing, just like I never understood the “hot babe” calendars or posters or setting your desktop background to a half-naked woman. I never got the point of having a car magazine with some woman in a g-string splayed all over the hood, I never got the point of a gun magazine where you have a model in booty shorts and a tactical vest. I don’t like the idea of selling things with sex because I feel like it insults my intelligence and talks down to me.
I love women and the female form, but Jesus. There’s enough porn around these days that it’d be nice to look at a car or a gun or some other form of “male hobby” magazine without it also being a Maxim shoot.
You are a reasonable person, Tyrphanax. A lot of people aren’t and are extremely vulnerable to their base instincts. ‘Get hot girl’ is a base instinct. And, when a large portion of people have a vulnerability to be exposed, the mass media will expose it.
