That women's magazine called "Frank". I realise it's supposed to be "Frank" as in "to tell the truth", but it's sort of a bit like calling Miss Selfridge's "Fat Tony".

Quoting from my blog awhile back...

BrainHeart is the
strangest magazine I read these days. It's a glossy Swedish magazine funded by one of the big Euro wireless venture capital firms. It has this crazy aspiration to be a muddy mix of Wallpaper*, Red Herring, Fast Company, Wired, and What Mobile?. All the articles are written in a eurojetsetting Scandlish intonation: perfectly grammatical with a plodding sing-song quality. "Let's assume that we would like to take a wireless tourist tour through Stockholm's 750-year-old Old Town, Gamla Stan. What would the tour look like?", begins one rip-roaring read. Every cover has a man and a women from the endlessly dull business world of Swedish telecoms, wearing these perfect clothes, perfectly photographed in perfect settings. The articles are all about building telcos "with brain and heart", but it's mostly just "wouldn't it be great if we could all be nice to one another, and href="http://www.brainheartmagazine.com/bhm3_text.asp?art=47&issue=11">guess how many Kronor I just spent on my new headset?". I can't put it down. I haven't been as simultaneously revolted and fascinated by a publication since the rise of the href="http://www.whileyouweresleeping.com/issuearchive/issue12/">Mexican Death zine. Get a BrainHeart subscription for free, and share my confusion.

If there isn't anywhere in the English speaking world a gay magazine called 'Adam and Steve', there bloody well should be.

I think that Uncut is a very misleading name. Who would think that it is a music magazine!

Mojo: a magazine about tuck shop sweets.

You should see what a google search on "Uncut magazine" comes up with.
