Shops could face legal action over lads mags

Quote:

Retailers are being warned they could face legal action if they continue to sell magazines showing naked and semi-naked images of women.

Pressure groups and lawyers say displaying the magazines or requiring staff to handle them could amount to sexual harassment or discrimination.

Campaigners say shops could be in breach of the Equality Act 2010.

The British Retail Consortium said its members do not sell anything illegal and have long followed industry rules.

Gender equality groups UK Feminista and Object have joined forces with 11 lawyers to launch the Lose the Lads' Mags campaign.

So what's the difference between lads mags and Cosmo stuff like this?

Ban one, ban the other... :rolleyes:

This is getting very tiresome. Lads' mags even being described a pornography FGS. Rubbish quite possibly but pornography, not really...

My gran used to think FHM was porn lol.

However I think this is a step too far.

Shops could face legal action over lads mags

Tall people could face legal action over ice cream

People with an 'x' in their names could face legal action over pointy shaped stones with a funny kind of serrated edge on them

But they won't.
