Monday Kickstart: Flirting with Stupidity (F.O.H.)

This .gif has made the rounds on the internet the last couple of weeks, but deserves further viewings. When Jennifer Lawrence, in all of her youthful, god-given beauty is on your magazine's cover, isn't that enough? Or, as Buzzfeed puts it, "If we’re digitally editing perfection, what hope is there for the rest of us?!"

This is ridiculous. Lawrence's looks are already considered an ideal that 99% of women in the world could only dream of matching. And it's all the more maddening for them that she is 100% natural. So why did Flirt find it necessary to photoshop her appearance? If you don't think a 23-year-old actress considered almost universally to be the hottest thing in Hollywood looks good enough for your magazine cover, maybe you should just stick to Japanese anime.

From the bottom of our hearts, Flirt:

Fuck outta here. I mean. seriously, how is this not inspiration enough for your readers?

Let's go.

Cover Girl

Kim Kardashian's still doing it. The likely recipient of Crooked Straight's "Lifetime Achievement in Pants Pressing" award—if one existed—is featured on the cover of the March 2011 issue of FHM UK. Grab hold of her—uhh, I mean... Grab hold of it—uhh, I mean...

The Truth Shall Set You Free

Have you ever found yourself standing in a grocery store checkout line, when you glance over and see some women's magazine doling out terrible advice while promising to teach a gal everything there is to know about men? Makes you nauseas, doesn't it? Well the boys across the pond at FHM.com decided to have a go at recreating some of those covers, and give the bitter editors of those rags a taste of their own medicine.
