Cosmo hides its sex-related headlines from advertisers


Cosmo has made several changes or let’s say that it has been cleaning up stuff to reflect something acceptable or wholesome or whatever. I guess Cosmo people have taken the petition too seriously. They have actually taken the word ‘vagina’ off the advertiser version of its Dakota cover. Some people also have issues with the fact that Dakota Fanning is only 17 & she’s too young for the cover.

Now let me tell you about the changes or the cleaning act:

Gone is the teaser for the store promoting “His Hottest Sex Ever,” replaced by the shallow promise of how to “Feel Close After A Fight.” The story that asked, “Um, Vagina, Are You OK Down There?” also got replaced — by the thrilling tale of a woman who married a Cosmo Bachelor.

They actually make you think…there’s no doubt about it :P “His hottest sex ever’’ sounds like some sort of a lie. Actually it puts a question mark on the sexual capacity of the guy. You know you wonder about the potential & his capabilities. Maybe he’s good just once & that could be your imagination. Just how when someone tells you a particular guy is hot, you immediately think he must be hot stuff in bed & when you see that particular thing, you’re like ‘ugh, ugh, ugh! And you can't go further than your ugh & yeah let me tell you the reason why they call such things hot - the guy happens to be rich. Anyway, I’m glad they have changed it to something more bizarre “feel good after a fight.” Or maybe they are telling us that you must have sex every time you fight. And this “Um, Vagina, Are You OK Down There?” is incredibly funny. I don’t think 11 year old will ponder over it. This question is for all the aunties & uncles who are worried about other peoples’ private organs. And how can it be okay all by itself! But don’t worry; after all, they do give you some hope – the woman gets married to a Cosmo bachelor.

It’s nothing short of a fairy tale. Can’t believe that a woman went out of her way to create a petition against this!
