There is now an acceptance of soft porn in our society.<BR/><BR/>But things will not change unless we act on mass. Lots of us need to protest. We need to make our pounds count. Tesco seem to have paid some attention but more is needed.<BR/><BR/>Please complain to your newsagent/supermarkets about these publications. Contact your MP and ask them to support the sexually explicit material bill.<BR/><BR/>http://www.parliament.uk/directories/directories.cfm<BR/><BR/>Also contact companies who advertise in these magazines and say that you will boycott their shops / products unless they stop the adverts.<BR/><BR/>I came across the following site which lists advertisers. http://charliegrrl.blogspot.com/2006/06/co...ds-mags_11.html<BR/><BR/>The advertisers are: (updated 11 June 2006)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Adverts in Zoo and Nuts:<BR/><BR/>* Virgin Mobile and Megastores<BR/>* Burger King<BR/>* Three Mobile<BR/><BR/>Adverts in ZOO:<BR/><BR/>* HMV<BR/>* Drench Still Spring Water<BR/>* Halfords<BR/>* Sony Ericsson<BR/>* VO5 Hair<BR/>* Vodafone<BR/>* AA Loans<BR/><BR/>Adverts in Nuts:<BR/><BR/>* Currys<BR/>* Phones 4 U<BR/>* Blockbuster Videos<BR/>* O2<BR/><BR/>Please take action. If we want a decent world then we need to take action. Make your feelings known.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Our society does not need to be like this.

But as this is purely voluntary, and 'lads mags' are sold in prime positions because they generate a larger income there (the shop owner has little say in the matter, the publishers decide where a magazine should be placed and pay premium for countertop level placement) it may only prove to be a stop-gap. I, pessimistically, imagine things may change in the short term but that they may drift back over time when this issue is no longer so public.<BR/><BR/>It's good to see though, that Diane Abbott is ready and willing to follow this up with further action and tighter, non-voluntary, regaluation if needs be.TPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483648212124828160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13440824.post-1143325239963847232006-03-25T22:20:00.000+00:002006-03-25T22:20:00.000+00:00now that is great news.
