I say 'Housewife'...but to be fair, it's hard to tell who is the market for these tawdry ('Isn't-life-shit) magazines, that seem to be aimed at women?
Gotta' love these dreary magazines that (over) populate the shelves in all respectable supermarkets. All the worse for featuring some truly dreadful 'Headlines' and (as always) matched with some glamorous (would-be) catalogue model smiling in the foreground, amidst headlines like (i shit thee not) "GANG RAPED ON PAYDAY" and "GIRL WHO GAVE BIRTH TO HER OWN BROTHER"
The recipe for these layouts is simple:
1) Top left hand side main picture of some dozy looking model with a shit-eating grin, clearly oblivious to the sex and violence in the surrounding headlines?
2) Semi-harmless (i.e, non-fatal) 'headlines' ("I PAINT WITH MY BOOBS" or "I HAVE A GUT LIKE JABBA THE HUTT")
3) Highly offensive (attention grabbing) main headline (usually involving 'Incest' or 'Paedophilia')
Gonna start posting more and more of these covers up, as quite frankly i think they're fucking hilarious (in an ironic, ironic manner, that is) like a watered down 'fictional' readers wife letter in a bongo mag.
