The top shelf

Just a short post today, more along the lines of a question.

What has happened to top shelf magazines?

I was at the end of my shift last night and had nothing left to do, so to pass the remaining few minutes away I tidied up the magazine shelves. As I was working my way along I noticed that the top shelf which used to be reserved for the more adult kind of magazines was now stacked with car, computer and photography magazines. I had to stop and have a wonder.

Where the fuck have all the porn mags gone??

It doesn't really seem all that long ago that crowds of young lads, I suppose I was one of them, would hang around in shops, sneakily picking up magazines with titles like; Mayfair, Fiesta, Escort and Penthouse. Now you barely see it. I'd like to blame the fact that most teens can't read anything more than a one syllable word without struggling, but those magazines didn't really require much reading.

So why have shops removed such magazines? Have we become so politically correct that we can't accept anything smut related to be on show anywhere, apart from specialist stores?

Could blame the internet which has made porn more easily accessible for everyone. But even that's not a complete answer as a lot of people still don't have the net.

Anyways, that's my small and not very important ramble of the day. Enjoy everything else you were doing prior to reading this, I'm off to buy milk so I can have my coffee!
