Maxim (magazine)

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia

Maxim is a men's magazine that is prominent for depicting popular actresses, singers, and other woman celebrities in sexually suggestive poses, usually wearing lingerie or other brief attire. However the magazine does not feature frontal nudity. There is some controversy as to whether or not this should be classified as pornography.

In the USA, Wal-Mart has decided not to carry it, but has not specified its reasons.

Other regular features of the magazine are short articles on subjects such as sports, movies, television, video games, cars, crime, and drinking -- subjects considered to be of interest to the magazine's primary audience of young (18-35 year old) males. Every issue also features extensive reviews and endorsements of new products in these fields.

Maxim has a number of subsidiaries and competitors.
