I'm not a particularly big fan of Latts and Atts because of the pseudo-biker format, though I've read some good articles in it. It's certainly not a very classy magazine in my opinion but it is a successful magazine that obviously meets a need.
That being said, I think the complaints say more about the complainers than the issue at hand. I'm just a bit surprised that this is an issue that is deemed worth battling over in '09. By my count, we've gone through at least three interpretations of women disrobing for Playboy alone in the past decades. First it was a liberation of the female body from the constraints of our hide-bound sexuality. Then it was an exploitation of women. Then it was independent business women taking advantage of their natural assets to further themselves. I forget what the current rationale is....
It's my impression that most women have moved on to fight battles much more worthy of their time.
As far as I'm concerned, the complaint fits in the same category as those about sailing magazines having boats on the cover that 99.9% of their readers will never be able to afford.
I'd offer my modeling services but, I'm hung like Einstein with the brains of a horse. (g)
