Did anybody read it in the first place - I thought they just tossed off looked at the pictures!

As mentioned in the article the internet has taken over this area of entertainment- especially with the advent of accessing anything and everything on your phone.
I wonder how Zoo is doing.

When I did my Prince's Trust course, there were a couple of neds who 'read' it, and I took a look at it a couple of times.

Quite frankly, it was the biggest pile of sh*te going, so good riddance!!

 

[TheDoctor]

I saw that, remembered the date, and wondered...

 

[Crackle]

Rip Nuts? Is this some kind of 3bm sado-masochism ritual?

 

[Headgardener]

Can't say as I've ever read it so I wont miss it.

 

[mcshroom]

Never read it and won't miss it. Shame for someone I know on another forum though who worked on it and has now just been made redundant.

[QUOTE 3007387, member: 9609"]never even heard of it - sounds more fun than Country Life and Homes and Gardens[/QUOTE]

It was a 'Lads Mag' that was aimed at boys of about 15 and with an IQ of 3.

[QUOTE 3007401, member: 9609"]I'm guessing it was a sunday sport sort of thing[/QUOTE]

Probably, yes (I haven't looked at a Sunday Sport in years, but yes, it was in a similar vein).

The demise of two cultural icons I had hitherto never heard of until today. A DJ whom I'm sure will be missed by those who knew him, and a lads mag.

I must be getting old.

As so often, my immediate reaction to a reported demise is 'Oh...I thought they were long gone.'

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

One thing which I think summed up the magazine or its ilk was, I remember on the telly several years ago, the Editor of either Nuts or Zoo was giving a soundbite about something, whilst sat in a bedroom.

He gave his piece, and then added at the end

'Oh and I have a box of tissues beside my bed because I have a cold and a runny nose, not because I'm a w*nker! ok??'.


I think that probably says it all.
