This is not surprising really, but Zoo magazine seems to have taken it’s final bow. I’m trying desperately to think of the name of that other mens weekly magazine, where Gavin Willims of Crazy Monkey fame was the editor. That magazine did not last long at all.
And now it seems after only 68 issues, Zoo is not cutting a healthy bank balance. To be honest, I have never ever bought a single issue of Zoo magazine. I have pretty much bought every other title under the sun, but never Zoo. I just think a men’s weekly is pushing it a little. The first few issues are fun as stories of booze and women entertain you, but we all get over that once we leave school. After that we want some content. Look Zoo might have had content, but I don’t know because I never read it. Come to think of it I have not seen a copy of Zoo in my friend’s houses either. FHM, GQ and Men’s Health all make appearances, but no Zoo.
The problem with these magazines is that they are full of typical guy stuff. Booze, women, cars etc. But most of the time you can find all this on the internet. And we can agree here…you can find a whole lot more.
I still wonder how girls magazines such as Heat are doing nowadays seeing as though there are so many entertaining celebrity websites around, such as Perez Hilton, X17 and Just Jared. These are updated daily and when you do get around to buying the Heat magazine, you have already read all the celebrity stuff. And the magazines just repeat what everyone else is saying. Then add in their own commentary:
“Will Britney Spears die this year? Well we think…”
It’s all pretty boring and these writers must go mad writing all that stuff. It would completely send me to the looney asylum!
Click ZOO to be directed to the Zoo website. Their last issue, in an effort to entice a last surge of readers, is a lingerie issue. To be honest, for lingerie, I prefer to sneak into my sisters house and steal the Cosmopolitan. HECTIC lingerie in there. The Cosmopolitan lingerie issue will make you go insane.
Every guy should read Cosmopolitan, in order to delve deeper into what women think. I read it ALL the time when I visit my sister.
Do I now know what women think? Hell no!
Do women know what guys think? Hell yes! That’s easy. Braais, booze etc.
Oh well in life you win some and you lose some.
