    Maxim = Abhorrent

    Maxim is vile. It promotes the worst kind of sexist/consumerist behavior. That said, the people who want to ogle want to ogle those who look hot in spandex or whatever stripper-wear is. Okay, I admit, I'm a guy. But I know I don't I don't look good in spandex. Just a fact. Not enough muscle tone, too much fat. That's the way it is. If you knew me you might think I'm funny, I have a good personality (or not), but you wouldn't want to pay to see me in a cowboy hat and chaps. The guy or girl doing the go-go thing is all about fantasy. Why should we pretend otherwise? Why gnash teeth about behavior, desire so silly and human?
