Looks Like Maxim Is An Equivalent Swap for EGM
Yesterday, we received an email from site mascot, Jordan Snyder, who informed us that he was informed that he was going to get a full subscription to Maxim magazine as a replacement for his unfulfilled EGM subscription.
Now, while I am no hater of Maxim magazine, I did find it amusing that our main man Jordan is currently in high school and under the age of 18, and while Maxim does not contain nudity or porn, it might be frowned upon by parents. Imagine how some parent is going to react to the cover at the left when it shows up in the mailbox, addressed to their young son or daughter.
Somehow, I think Ziff Davis could have done better by its subscribers. Again, I am no prude, but maybe give people a choice of some other subscription. And I cannot wait to see the statistics on how many kids get an ass-whooping out of this by an irate parent. Check the jump for pictures of the notice of subscription change.

No complaints here.
My parents already know that there's no nudity, and not even that many racy shots (I did a thorough sweep of the magazine). That said, there are some provocative articles that most parents wouldn't want their young child reading, some with graphic descriptions of sexual acts. For those parents, the sticker on the cover of the first magazine (I think they sent me two) says that you can receive a refund instead.
Yes, that cover with Jennifer Love Hewitt is not racy at all.
Not really… I mean all they show is cleavage, and not even lingerie cleavage either.
I am one of those parents and I am LIVID! I'm calling my State Attorney General's office. And you are mistaken. Maxim IS porn!
