The news biz is increasingly edited by idiots, for idiots. We expect idiocy from Mort Zuck -- after all, he turned Useless News from a weekly to a college annual -- but he seems intent on trying to put the Daily Nooz out of biz; maybe it's the tax breaks. True this ad has been widely distributed; why didn't JANN!!!!!!!!!! try to buy out those UK midgets of soft-core? But Mort seems to take a little extra happiness in twisting the knife in his readers' backs. (It doesn't help that this soft-core's "editor" has a way with words like PAUL DRECK!!!!!!!!!! and is thus a certifiable ass.) We will confess to a certain jealousy at those who can squire such women but then we realize most of these either "sing" technocrap or are flat-out high-maintenance airheads, and then, as though remembering our favorite things, we don't feel so bad.

P. S. A special demerit to ALPHA MEDIA GROUP for the Harley-Davidson ad you can shut off only after frantically playing with an Adobe Flash pop-up menu -- and with that gal's voice you want to shut it off -- but we should expect things like this from a company that's had five CEOs in 33 months.

(Corrected at 6:53 p. m. Those UK midgets sold their American version of Maxim three years back, and folded the British edition thereafter; the CEO revolving door is responsible for the ad, and the online ad too.)
