When you go to Walmart next time, you'll be seeing one less item at the checkout: Cosmopolitan Magazine.
The oversized retail giant announced this week that they are demoting the popular 132-year-old magazine from the checkout stands to the regular magazine racks, claiming it was a business decision.
However, there's more to the story than this being a so-called "business decision".
For the past twenty years, retailers and critics have been attacking the magazine for its often racy covers, mainly featuring a scantily-clad woman on the front cover. Many retailers such as Kroger and some Meijer and Family Fare stores have even put blinders over the front cover at checkout stands in hopes of the magazine to soften their image. They haven't, so it's off to the regular magazine rack Cosmo goes.
Many religious groups are claiming victory for Walmart's decision, including Morality in Media, which now goes by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. Another person who has fought feverishly to get Cosmo off the shelves is Victoria Hearst, whose grandfather, William Randolph Hearst bought the magazine in 1905 and is still owned by the Hearst company. Ms. Hearst founded a religious group, Praise Him Ministries and claims that Cosmo's teachings can hurt women and shouldn't be sold to those under 18.
Ya know, these are the same cocksuckers who worked feverishly to get Playboy canned from supermarkets and 7-Eleven in the 80s and their plans worked. These are also the same group of assholes who got my hometown of Grand Rapids to ban strip clubs. Now, if I want to see pussy (considering how tough it is to get laid in this town), I gotta go to Lansing to do so. No, don't get me to Odyssey in Muskegon. 1) reportedly, the place is horrible and 2) I will no longer visit that town since that's where the last bitch who lived with me and ripped me off came from.
What's sad is that the adult/porn/even not quite porn industry here in America is overly regulated and yet, it's easier to own a gun shop than it is a strip club. It's easier to kill somebody than to get laid here in America. Hell, it's even more sad that the #MeToo movement seems to have caused a lot of women to be scared of having a relationship with men. I'll even admit that maybe it's a good reason why I'm alone a lot.
The point is, is that sex is a normal thing. Yet the King James-reading assholes all think that it kills people. The fact that Walmart would rather demote Cosmo to an obscure mag rack next to hunting mags shows that we need to vote with our money. It's still one of the top magazines in America, but if circulation shrinks all because of a bunch of Jebus freaks, they will win.
I *SHOULD* plan a trip to Lansing soon, but since Slobby emptied my bank account....
