[Closed] Magazines, a WTF moment

Popped into our local shop today and caught sight of the magazine rack. Practical Poultry, Practical Pigs and to top it all off: Your Chicken! I understand magazines cater for an extremely varied audience but i was laughing my head off when i saw it.

Shop staff said they have never sold a copy of Your Chicken.

What strange/comical magazines do you know of?

Surely this can't be right - they wouldn't carry it just for fun?

" TOTAL CARP " agenuine fishing mag, and from what I could see a chillingly accurate tag line.

I once caught my son with a copy of "S**** " and that was fairly accurate too !!!!

Couldn't tell you, but that is what they said and it was sitting on the shelf.

I've bought practical poultry, there was a good article about urban chicken keeping.

Oh, I thought it would be more about using frozen chickens as door stops

When I first visited the high st I live near I went in the WH Smiths to be confronted with 3-4 different tractor mags and no MTB mags. That was a WTF moment for me.

I work for a Newspaper/Magazine wholesaler and I can tell you for a fact that newsagents/High street stores have very little input as to what is put on their shelves.

Seriously!

Yep depends on range, fixture size , location ,demographic etc
Its all SOR anyway so what doesn't sell goes back

EDIT- SOR= sale or return

My local newsagents only stock one MTB magazine, but carry three different tattoo magazines - must be a rougher neighbourhood than I thought. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Somewhere buried in my work draw is Tandoori Monthly, a signed copy by a famous Indian chef.

Elsewhere in out office away from HR's eyes is a copy of the Sun from 199- something - the only one with Danni Minogue topless p3 and Pam Anderson topless centre spread at the same time.
