Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted September 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 My mum loves these shite magazines. I remember the Benoit murders were covered  in either chat or take a break. They of course added a little script of what happened over that weekend. I can imagine the housewives and old dears getting right into it and taking it as truth before he snapped. The only bit I remember was they were having dinner at the dining room table and Chris was being distant Nancy - âBig match this weekend then?â Chris - âYeahâ âShe sensed something was off, but put it down the nervesâ I fully expect him to come back as one of these ghost lovers at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 Back in my BritWres days, Jetta would always have a copy of Love It with her and it became a running joke because of the shite you'd get. One that stood out was 'RAPED, THEN HE TOOK ME OUT FOR A BURGER'. It ended up becoming a bit of a thing where backstage everyone would take it in turns to read through it between their matches. It's like part Jeremy Kyle, part your bullshitter mate from school who claimed his dad drive a Ferrari and part something Vic and Bob would come up with.

Ha, reminds me of an old Punt & Dennis sketch from Canned Carrott: "Your dad 'asn't got a Ferrari!" "Yeah, 'e's got a Ferrari, and you're sussed, 'cos it's a Ferrari ESTATE!"

By a psychic!" being accompanied by a picture of a confused dog has done me in. I now feel the need to read that article because it's not clear whether the dog was saved by a psychic, or whether someone was saved by a psychic dog.

iMPACt! Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 What I love is the fact each cover has a random big stock photo of a normal looking model's face, which has no relevance or connection to any of the headlines. I can only assume is to make it seem a bit less out there and more acceptable to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westlondonmist Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'm curious, do people buy these mags for the pure laugh they must bring or do they take it seriously. I would consider buying one of these just to see what they are like but I think I would be to embarrassed. Surely the people who write these know it is a load of shit.
