Saw this earlier on the Beeb website. Just another reason not to read Cycling Weekly ...

I stopped reading cycling weebly when they went to that glossier paper - all it did was smear it round my bum.

We should all be grateful they chose "attractive" as the adjective.
When the cycling press mentions women, it always feels like lip service, but it is still shocking to see it in black and white.

Excellent publicity for Hinckley CC.
The club could have a very successful drive for new members on the back of it.

I cannot help but doubt that this has owt to do with "sexism". Could very well just be an alienated staffer. My background is mags and I have sent the odd strange comment down the print process that was later caught. Not anything that could be deemed sexist I stress. I knew someone seriously pissed off with the boss who in the last issue he worked on managed to arrange the initial letters of a series of short stories to spell **** off .... the culprit may have thought that they were skewering a certain hypocrisy on the mag. It is even possible that the "culprit" was a woman.

The 'drop caps' story is legendary - goes back to the 90s or earlier. I think the original culprit was 'Office Equipment News' or some similar trade mag...

"Grade is a c**t" remains my favourite piece of subversive text flying under the radar in plain view, proving that it can be done with taste and a lack of offence.
Unless you're Michael Grade of course.
