(CNSNews.com) — In a move being largely credited to the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), retail giant Walmart is removing Cosmopolitan magazine from its checkout aisles in its more than 5,000 stores. However, Walmart stores will still carry the publication in their magazine sections.
“Walmart is using its platform to take a stand against sexual exploitation, by instituting a broad sweep of all Walmart stores, removing Cosmopolitan Magazine from each and every checkout aisle,” said the NCOSE on its website. “This unprecedented effort will impact more than 5,000 stores across our nation.”
“That’s over 5,000 stores where families and individuals will no longer be automatically exposed to Cosmo’s hypersexualized and degrading article titles that regularly promote pornography, sexting, BDSM, group sex, anal sex, and more, all while marketing toward young teens with Disney star cover models,” said the pro-family, anti-pornography organization. read more
That mag is a disgusting leftest mouthpiece for all feminist vile harpings. No loss there.
good on WallyMart … first correct thing they’ve done in decades
… now, if they’d just ban pj’s ….
In 1969 I was flying NY to Chicago by myself – back in the days of young and perky. I picked up the mag in the airport to read on the plain. Mind you, the wildest mag I ever read until then was Mad, Time, Newsweek and BH&G.
I was seated next to a gentleman who was at least 20 years older than me. I never gave it a thought as I started reading an article entitled How to Have An Affair. I thought it was a satire when I saw the title. So I started reading it, and didn’t realize what I was reading until well into the article.
By that time the gent was getting talkative and friendly and tried to impress me. Guess it wasn’t a total loss, he got and carried my luggage and put me into my limo. Hee, hee.
Oops ^^^ me
Plane not plain. Grrrrrr!
At checkouts I have a habit of putting several of other mags in front of Cosmo when no one is looking.
At my office we get our magazine subscriptions through a service. They send us free magazines all the time. My instructions to the gal who picks up the mail are to put Cosmo and Marie Claire in the recycling bin at the post office and don’t even bring to the office.
They didn’t remove it completely, they still suck.
Being familiar with walmart, somehow I think they moved cosmo off the checkout because the rag don’t sell to their sort of clientele:

A few weeks ago I was sitting in a Jeep dealership in New Braunfels, TX waiting in their sales area for them to add an accessory reading magazines and I picked up a Cosmo for the first time in 15 years and I couldn’t believe the stories. I seriously couldn’t flip fast enough sitting in the middle of a room with people passing by and I texted a friend and sent her titles of the articles. It was worse than ready actual smut. Glad to know it wasn’t just me that found it a disgusting inappropriate piece of trash.
