Carmen Electra's beer, huh? Hadn't realized that was such a common point of interest. Her breasts, I can see that, but her beer? Honestly?

 
Gidgie 2008-01-06 01:46:59 AM  
Yeah, but has he seen her lately?

/shudder

SO... TMZ or Maxim hiring then?

Now if it weren't designed for a ADHD person on caffeine and sugar, I might be able to read it. and might actually buy it.

/for the articles, you know.

All reality though, she is a horrible professional. Booked her for an appearance at the casino I worked at a few years ago, biatch never even showed even though the rest of the cast did (filming the movie "Wet Works" with Judge Reinhold)... but still had her agent demand payment.

People still read Maxim?

 
KramericaWallet 2008-01-06 01:51:49 AM  
How can he live with himself, working for a magazine based around pictures of non-naked women which have been completely over-processed? I mean, over-processed pictures of naked women would be bad enough, but non-naked is completely crazy.

Raise your hand if you buy maxim.

 
skinink 2008-01-06 01:52:34 AM  

I'd rather work for "Loaded"; for men who should know better.


Loaded had the better articles and better babes. And the UK version of Maxim is also way better than the American version.

Seacop: Maxim sucks

Thank you.

I've only read part of one Maxim story. It was all I needed to understand that Maxim is the Entertainment Tonight for men.

Insulting and trivial at best.

/Someone at my job leaves Esquire magazines in the stalls. Sure, I'll read anything while taking a shiat. However, reading how I can dress up on casual Fridays by wearing a farking suit kind of makes me ill.
//Yeah. I still read it. I'll read anything while taking a shiat.

 
bayrum72 2008-01-06 01:56:25 AM  
Since Maxim (USA) fired Jimmy Jelnik the mag has s*cked. Sorry, all the sponsored links in the world can't put this broken spank rag back together.

It was good in 1998 when I was 19. Since then I seem to have grown up.

 
brian7dog 2008-01-06 02:05:35 AM  
As much as Carmen has slipped down the "I can't belive I wanted to fark that" slope, it's good to see a guy living his dream

 
brian7dog 2008-01-06 02:09:19 AM  
Not that Maxim spends much time on either breasts or beer, but if you're a big enough douche to work for them, you probably think you're "all that"

I believe this was when she was at her peak.

chapman [TotalFark] 2008-01-06 02:26:22 AM  
Maxim in a nutshell, yesterday's hotties for yesterday's douchebags. There was a brief shining moment where that magazine was fresh and interesting. Now it's 60 pages of soft porn for teens and 20 pages of fashion pics with hot guys for gay teens who are in the closet but want to pass as straight by owning Maxim.

Crap mag, crap tfa.

You know who else likes boobies and beer?

 
Shock_wave 2008-01-06 02:32:41 AM  
But to be fair, most of the hate in this thread is due to the fact that they don't currently HAVE this guy's job.

/Lucky SOB

CygnusDarius [TotalFark] 2008-01-06 02:36:08 AM  
Well, seeing Maxim caters for the tiny spec of metrosexual in all of us (yes, even you), I can see why he wants to quit Maxim.

 
fivenodes 2008-01-06 02:36:36 AM  
First it was Details... Which turned into a gay men's fashion mag. Then Maxim, which turned into a Frat Douche handbook. Then FHM, which sucked right out of the gate.

Any suggestions? What's your favorite right now?

 
rpl 2008-01-06 02:48:38 AM  
Did anyone actually read the article? 'Cause it's actually pretty cool.

 
Snall 2008-01-06 02:49:26 AM  
RPL, I came here to say the same thing, I muchly enjoyed the article.

worst

magazine

ever.

(unless you're a barely illiterate budding rapist who's into lame 'definitive' lists, gizmo and clothing porn, conceited asswads dictating your taste in music based on what's the fad of the second and explosions that is, then, by all means fn HAVE AT.)

Didn't this guy host that Fox News talk show "Red Eye" a while back, the one Drew appeared on a few times?. I haven't finished reading the article yet too many words, so much white real estate but it does seem to be a good read so far.

 
moothemagiccow 2008-01-06 04:11:53 AM  
Sweet jesus what a vapid retard. Who the hell needs cosmo for men? cosmo is dumb enough. Magazines are 90% advertisements anyway, god knows how they get people to pay $5 for them

 
Gigglecream 2008-01-06 04:13:17 AM  
Why read Maxim or other similar magazines when porn is free and better on the internet?

The first sentence is fine. In the second, read "as" as "ass."

I came here to point that out myself, only to find the Boobies already nailed it. Seriously, this guy's an editor?

Yep, as a Brit I think he's got us summed up pretty well.

Anyone fancy going to the pub?

But is is lame-ass farking or lame ass-farking? I think it's the second, and the poster is more interested in other, less lame, ass-farking mags.

But that's just me.

Newsflash: Closeted gay guys always say they think plastic skanks like Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson are hot to try to appear not gay. They also claim they "like beer". No you don't, you Pinot Noir-sipping fairy.

 
PandaPorn 2008-01-06 04:52:57 AM  
Glad to see I'm not the only one hating Maxim. What a POS, low-IQ rag. And everything operationdinosaurfingers said.

Christ that was an overly long, self indulgent article.

All that in hopes to see Carmen's Boobies...I should have just come to Fark.

What if they aren't closeted, but also claim this?

/ Just curious.

Maxim target demographic is guys worried their peener's too small.

 
Hamhead 2008-01-06 06:56:16 AM  
So, I wasn't aware that Carmen Electra has gotten so "DO NOT WANT", and I was hoping that somebody would post a recent picture to illustrate.

 
Burt Scursey 2008-01-06 07:04:32 AM

Agreed. No wonder he got fired there in London and in NYC. Who could put up with that?

 
ilovetacos [TotalFark] 2008-01-06 07:36:14 AM  
For some reason I think the idiots that say magazines like Maxim suck are the same idiots that think Wes Anderson should direct every movie ever made.
