Question...

30 January 2004

Can anyone explain to me why the worst men's top-shelf mags in the UK all sound as if they're named after cheap cars?

I must admit, I've wondered this on occasion. More to the point, they're named after Ford cars.

Fiesta (*shudder*), Escort (*bigger shudder*), and wasn't there an Escort Mayfair at some point?

Mind you, my bizarre mind then goes on to wonder about the Ford "Readers Wives", or the Vauxhall "Lesbian Grannies"

The new Focus Razzle, or the Ka Men Only for those of you who can't afford a Razzle will be available from all good sex shops this week, wrapped in plastic bags that are opaque up to the windows.

But you can get the Metro for free most weekdays.

Ah yes, I remember my first car was the Renault Hustler.

Just a guess, but I'd imagine that pr0n mags and cheap cars have a similar marketing demographic.
Who buys those mags nowadays, anyways? Probably older working-class geezers who can't figure out how to "fiddle" with new-fangled DVDs or how to "download" stuff for free off the web.

Charles, "geezers"? When did you turn British?

Sort-of reminds me of the joke about the difference between a Ford Capri and a hedgehog. (With a hedgehog, the pricks are on the outside.)
