El Reg:
As a long-time reader of Playboy; a common sewer of books by my favorite author, Anonymous; and an internet veteran, and as one who also knows a person whose offspring subscribes to Cosmopolitan, I say unabashedly that Cosmopolitan is the smarmiest, trashiest thing I have ever read in my life.
Not necessarily the most prurient nor the most explicit, but easily the smarmiest and trashiest.
(Yes, I saw the article that El Reg discusses. It was, indeed, too stupid for words.)
