Douglas,
Oddly, no one complains about this sort of thing when serious interviews appear in magazines like GQ and Playboy, as they have for years and years. I'd prefer not to have to flip through pages of naked or scantily clad women and obnoxious liquor and car ads in order to read an interview with Jimmy Carter or Hunter S. Thompson. Men's traditional side interests (naked women, cars, sports, cigars, whatever) have always been considered normal and mainstream, and we've been dealing with seeing those things juxtaposed with issues that matter to both women and men for decades.
So if I can deal with scantily clad bimbos in the pages of men's magazines, you can deal with a little fluff now and then, no?
