	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Magazine \| The clickable alternative 'lad mag'
		Lad mags, if they were to cater for men's real needs, should recognise men as thinking, feeling beings who need to directly bond with each other - not bond over the denigration of women.
		Lad mags encourage men to view women as inferior, thus perpetuating a culture of contempt against women.
		Lad mags speak to men and boys as if they were sexually voracious and callous ape-like subhuman brutes, and encourage them to live up to this stereotype.

	BBC - Radio 1 - News - Should lad's mags be on the top shelf?
		Lads magazines are essentially harmless,they pander to male fantasies but the real dangers are in the teen girl magazines which are openly sexual in their advice,they should be on the top shelf.
		Lads mags have gone from fun and entertaining to low-rent porn mags and their place on supermarket shelves should reflect that.
		Lads mags used to be a bit of fun, but recently they seem to be having a competition to see who can get the most naked women in the magazines.

	BBC NEWS \| Magazine \| 'Why the world needs lads'
		Now the Lad is a simple creature, and he enjoys many of the simpler pleasures in life - eating, drinking, the misfortunes of others, amazing and bizarre pictures, and of course, the idea that every woman in the world is both amazingly pretty, and spends a large portion of each day semi-naked.
		The Lad always looks on the funny side; take any major disaster or tragedy, and within 30 minutes, e-mails around the world will be sent containing jokes to lighten the collective mood; these e-mails are sent by Lads.
		He'd still be in the pub farting and laughing about it, that's where, because he existed before Lad's mags, and he'll still exist when they are gone, for he is one of the ages of man. Let's call it the Age of Lad.

		Lad mags also offered men the chance to look at fashion, lifestyle choices and relationships as never before, together with the latest must-have gadgets and loadsa lists.
		Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie and Spud first made their hellos with the publication of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting in 1993 - a tale that focused on a group of Scottish heroin addicts and was based on the drug culture of Leith, which Welsh had had first-hand knowledge of over an 18-month period.
		You may find it hard to think back to a time when lad and chick lit didn't exist, given how our book stores are groaning under the weight of new titles, and cinema screens are filled with their celluloid adaptations.

	SwindonWeb - Lad's Mags - Good fun or top shelf filth?
		It seems Swindon lads have never had it so good, with the honey invasion coming shortly after local girls were given a jolly good hosing for a Nuts Magazine Miss Wet T-shirt special.
		But according to the North Swindon MP, mainstream lads mags should be hidden out of reach of impressionable children (and consequently, vertically challenged adults!).
		Lads mags are what they are - comics for not so grown up men.

	Loaded (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Loaded, first published by IPC in 1994, is the oldest British "lads' mag" - "For men who should know better".
		It was founded by James Brown, a former deputy editor of the music weekly New Musical Express.
		Loaded captured the lad culture of the 1990s like no other magazine; its glorification of British male "rogues" (Liam Gallagher, Oliver Reed, Paul Gascoigne etc.) was only outstripped by its fondness for titillating photoshoots with nubile C-, B-, and occasionally A-list celebrities.

	New lad mag promises 'no Britney and no snark'
		"Lad mags" have been darlings of the publishing industry for hooking the coveted 18- to 34-year-old male subscriber with plenty of hot, minimally clothed babes in provocative poses, sex talk, the latest must-have gadgetry and chic clothes.
		Giant, which hit the streets on Tuesday, is a fresh celebration of all things pop cultural, but one of its strengths is that it's not grounded only in the moment.
		They track a changing mix of quirky indexes -- the number of times the word "indeed" was used in The New York Times one month, the top 10 selling video games of all time or the priciest TV ads last year.

	Eat The Press \| From Playboy to Stuff: The Atlantic Laments The Decline Of Mags For "Real ...
		The "lad" genre, born and raised in the mid '90s, has hardly gone unnoticed by the media and publishing industries, spawning books, magazines, blogs and more.
		But the promise of perpetual adolescence, like the promise of hyper-sophisticated sexual dexterity, can be fleeting, and the laddie craze appears to have passed its peak, with lad lit titles fetching disappointing revenue for publishing houses and the beer-swilling, chick-scoring mag titles hitting a wall.
		Plus, with Maxim's leading circulation of 2.5 million and Stuff coming in second at 1.3 million, none of the lad mags have ever surpassed Playboy's dominance in the men's general interest department (though, despite maintaining a circulation of around 3 million, the brand itself has seen plenty of trouble in the internet era).

	Word Spy - lad mag
		That's one of the so-called "lad mags," the British invention that has taken the magazine world by storm lately.
		Occasional sense of humour failures, such as the vexed article about the new lad mag Loaded, are compensated for by the variety of voices and serious writing full of sense and stimulation.
		Ironically the lads' mag, Loaded, comes from IPC, who already provide that section of the gay population who don't buy Just 17 with their constant diet of Take That pictures through the recently launched Now.

		Lad lit, romance novels, and the objectification of men
		Lad lit authors may be truthful about young men's preoccupations, but the recipe for great escapist reading does not include ample servings of stuff people would rather not know.
		What could be mistaken for a process of detection is actually an act of construction on the part of women who already have a pretty good sense of what's going on in the locker room and prefer to imagine something more appetizing.

		Ladette comes from the word lad, which originally meant a boy or young man. In Britain in recent years, lad has been used more often to describe a lively young man who is interested in drinking, sports and meeting women:All my other mates said he was a bit of a lad, always making trouble.
		Young men have their range of lad mags (= magazines for young men), but what magazine is a man over 40 supposed to buy exactly?

		Thus FHM is typically stocked in the lifestyle rather than adult section on newsstands although Wal-Mart banned lad mags in 2003.
		Towards the end of the decade the lads' culture in which the magazine thrived had begun to die off and publishers turned to celebrity-oriented titles to boost overall sales.

		Lads Mags are under attack from Union policy with publications including FHM, Nuts and the Daily Sport being labelled “sexist and misogynistic” by Union Council.
		I find your comment that lads mags 'appreciate women' a little bizarre, as it is lags mags which insult women on pretty much every other page, and glorify them for nothing more than their bodies, and only the bodies of 'the 100 sexiest women' or so.
		Lads' mags may be the easiest target for the people with agenda on this issue, but there's far more important issues that you're ignoring, possibly because it's people like you that caused them!

		And when you look at the range of men's mags and compare them to women's mags, it's not hard to see why.
		On the other hand, the female mag often covers fashion (sometimes swimwear, so that's some males accounted for), sewing patterns (hmm, perhaps not), real life stories about how someone's boyfriend is really gay and is dating their boss's husband (now that's more like it!), cookery tips, and the problem page.
		The problem page is my favourite, and the best ones tend to be in those mags designed for teenage girls, where you tend to get about five hundred completely ridiculous problems, and about one that any normal person may have.

	Dr Petra Boynton I Blog I Lad’s mags score own goal
		When criticised it’s common for lad’s mags to use the standard rhetoric of it’s not their job to educate, sex advice is ‘boring’ and that they want to be entertaining.
		Nobody’s expecting lad’s magazines to be a regular sex-ed manifesto, but it would be nice if just occasionally they could get something topical, erotic or even sexy into their sex coverage.
		Because in lad’s mags editors minds this is ‘boring’ – forget that it might be what their readers want and could lead to readers having a great sex life.

	Lad's mags \| Liberal Review

		That's a subjective opinion though; I personally agree that taking the content of lad's mags seriously would give a person a somewhat distorted view of things, but I don't think they're meant to be taken seriously, nor do I think that most people lack the intelligence to realise this.

		Members of the publishing industry have recently been contending that the older male demo (30 and up) is an untapped market that could have niche magazines all their own.

		It remains to be seen whether the same numbers will continue dropping in the US, but the post-lad market certainly may have the potential to become as powerful as its younger brother.

	Media, Gender and Identity - David Gauntlett and Derrick Cameron in Conversation
		DC: The impression I had of Whelehan's book was that it was necessary - as one of the first on the 'lad mag' and 'ladette' phenomena - but she basically wanted to cite both of these as evidence of 'backlash politics' and hence of men's undying hostility to women (i.e.
		So the only reason I buy men's mags is because I am a victim of consumer culture and I like to get something new and glossy when I've gone to the shops (and the academic interest, because I write about them, as well).
		Several seem to think fatherhood will do the trick - assuming you are/want to be/are in a position to be a father, that is. In historical terms, there seems to be a realisation that the 'men's movement' strategies of the 1970s/1980s all failed or were derided by women.
