- alanr19, on 04/24/2008, -1/+11They've gone from a genuine lads mag to one that only people too shy to reach for the top shelf buy.
Don't get me wrong boobies rule 'n all but jeez, if you're gonna do boobies at least do them right, and quit trying to sell me crap I don't want or need.- TheDiceMan, on 04/24/2008, -0/+5"and quit trying to sell me crap I don't want or need."
A-*****-men!
Pages, pages and pages of adverts, all before the contents page, and on every second page thereafter - if it wasn't bad enough that journalistically, Esquire went to *****.
"A big book of adverts please"
"hmmmm, we seem to be out of Esquire... hows about GQ?" - aphexconspiracy, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Esquire is still pretty good in my opinion, but I've only been reading it for 5-6 years.
- alanr19, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3Shouldn't you have out-grown it by now then? Haven't you got bored yet of reading about the latest "must-have" hair gel or whose panties were photographed while going to a party, and the interviews with mildly interesting but thoroughly forgetful people?
Meh I guess it's just me that moved on.- aphexconspiracy, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1I'm only 23, probably still in their target demographic so the hair gel thing must apply to me. Cheesy enough as it sounds, I enjoy some of the articles, though not enough to have a subscription though. I read mostly the UK edition, not that many women in it.
- alanr19, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1The UK edition is obviously more cerebral the our US version then. By quite a bit.

- Anteros, on 04/24/2008, -1/+1I don't really see that, at least in the UK version, the last issue I bought in september 2005 has nothing I can see that I'd remotely consider "top shelf". Most of the covers don't even feature women.
- laserdog, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1When I was 10 years old, based on my glimpses of the covers, II was convinced that Esquire was a porno mag.

- cheeseplease, on 04/24/2008, -2/+0*74.8 years
- llamaesque, on 04/24/2008, -2/+0Esquire is great for the three pages of content amongst the 450 pages of fashion ads.
- babydill, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2shows how far we've come

- latinjones, on 04/24/2008, -0/+6Somebody set off a ***** bomb on the covers here in the last decade or so. Really kind of illustrates peoples obsession with celebrities. Do magazines still hire writers these days?
- SiliconRain, on 04/24/2008, -0/+6Ehm... what the hell is going on in June 1934? Is that golfer about to hit the black guy for being on the golf course?
- TheDiceMan, on 04/24/2008, -1/+1buahahahah - good find. WTF?
- fugazied, on 04/24/2008, -1/+1Some smooooking hot covers in there. eg. http://www.esquire.com/cover-detail?year=2001&mont ... http://www.esquire.com/cover-detail?year=2002&mont ... http://www.esquire.com/cover-detail?year=2003&mont ... http://www.esquire.com/cover-detail?year=2005&mont ...
- silverliner, on 04/24/2008, -0/+0October 1945. So many questions, nary any answers.
- SiliconRain, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Wow. The price stayed at 50 cents from 1933 until 1954! While the price of my train to work seems to go up every two months...
- kasama, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1January 1977 was racist.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=79C91YNL - IamcoolJ, on 04/24/2008, -0/+0I have the April 1940 issue intact in fair condition. There's some really great illustrations in it. One " Highwaisted" underwear ad with a guy in his tightie whities, smoking a pipe is hilarious.
- dreamchaser04, on 04/25/2008, -0/+0June 1971: "Ralph Nader CAN become the next president of the United States!"
I had no idea he's been trying for that long. - seabass341, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1Who is the clayman with big eyes and a mustache?
