your magazines, our attitude

 

You must find…another…Stitchery!!

It’s the Special Stitchery Issue!! Featuring Artists in Aprons! And with enough Mary Jane, probably just aprons.

This chick sort of looks like the one on Hee-Haw. A bit older, but you know she’s had her wild days in the corn rows.

Another fine example of there being a magazine tailored for every human on Earth. I’ll continue the good search for the most obscure.

‘O’ Count = 81

oprah 2007 03Going strong. Too bad Britney was on 81 covers this week alone.

Is that outfit one of those worn by the rebel alliance when they landed to take out the shield generator on Endor?

We need more Beyonce in our life

The newest SI swimsuit issue cover girl. Hopefully they’ll soon invent a lens you can insert behind your eyelid that let’s you see Beyonce every time you blink. She’s got it going on. Here’s an entire website dedicated to Beyonce in Sports Illustrated.

beyonce - si

The SI swimsuit issue is great - it somehow legitimizes buying a magazine full of naked chicks (when your bikini is painted on, you’re naked). It’s somehow taboo to buy magazines that objectify women, but put it in a sports magazine and its like minting gold. The best part of the swimsuit issue is reading the letters to the editor about 2-3 weeks later, where random folks write in to say how disappointed they are in society, and how they’re canceling their subscription after 27 years…never mind that they didn’t cancel after the last 20 swimsuit issues. Love those letters.

Cheers to SI. Next year they should get that Sarah Silverman chick. Why is she so hot when she talks about farting and homeless people?

Say it ain’t so Chewie!!

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — A man dressed as Chewbacca was arrested after police said the street performer head-butted a tour guide operator in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Frederick Evan Young, 44, of Los Angeles, California, was booked Thursday for investigation of misdemeanor battery, police Lt. Paul Vernon said. Police said the 6-foot-4 street performer was seen arguing Thursday afternoon with a tour guide who had expressed concern that the Star Wars wookiee impersonator was “harassing and touching tourists” in violation of city law.

chewbaccaI love Chewbacca. The single greatest character in the history of mankind. Bold statement, yes. But Chewbacca better watch it - you can’t just go around touching Japanese tourists. The best part is that Chewie had the wherewithal to proclaim: ‘You can’t tell this wookiee what to do’ before putting his hairy noggin into the face of his accuser. Get it Chewbacca!

“The lesson here is you can have the force with you,” Vernon said. “You just can’t use illegal force.” An important lesson, indeed.

Anna Nicole Smith: 1967 - 2007

A veteran of an impressive four Playboy covers, Anna Nicole Smith died this week.

Anna 4Anna 2Anna 1Anna 3

Don’t know a lot about her, under then the obvious, such as that she had 4 first names: Vickie, Lynn, Anna, Nicole. Her real name was Vickie Lynn Marshall, and her stage name was Anna Nicole Smith. Also think it’s odd that her stage name was “Smith.”

Introducing…Oprah?

I’m starting a new monthly feature here on Magitude called the ‘O’fficial Count. Basically I’m interested in one thing - who is on the cover of this month’s O-Oprah magazine? Let’s find out:

Feb 07 Oprah

It’s Oprah!!! In fact, let’s go back to every issue since it launched in 2000 to see the myriad of stars that have appeared on her magazine… hmm - there’s Only One! In fact Feb 2007 marks the 80th straight Oprah cover featuring Oprah. But she’s not alone, she’s also posed with:

* 5 dogs
* 2 horses
* 2 hats
* 1 boat
* 1 bike

And once she posed with 7 images of herself…and once just 2 images of herself. Check back next month for the running ‘O’fficial count of Oprah covergirls!

Just an idea…

If I was making a magazine about hang gliding, I might put, you know, a hang glider on the front cover.

It is obvious, really

I don’t think there can be much argument about this… This magazine cover is badass. You can be pretty certain if you turn a corner and see this dude, you’re pretty much dead.

Don't make a wrong turn in Okinawa Good fighting form always says to leave your unobstructured crotch as open as possible when fighting with swords.

This photo takes me back to that phase in the 80’s when every elementary school-aged kid got karate pajamas with a belt, headband, and rising sun on the back. I suppose that was Ralph Macchio’s fault.

I just noticed this is the Wushu-Special-Magazine. Whoa.

Magitude is all about great magazine covers. Where else can you see so much meaningless stuff that means so much to so few people? There’s nothing magazine covers can’t tell you. If the Earth was nuked tonight, it would somehow end up on a cover tomorrow. Probably next to Jacko’s fake nose.
