 GQ and Maxim had a baby and... May 28, 2010

I don't read many magazines unless one's laying around and I'm waiting for something, or have nothing better to do on my lunch break. It seems like for the last 3 months, there's always been an issue of Esquire sitting around. What I like about Esquire is that it's a men's magazine without being too much of a men's magazine, if that makes any sense. The pages aren't littered with young women in clothes that would put your standard stripper to shame, and there aren't a lot of features about cars, expensive watches and sports. So what -does- this magazine have then? It's kind of a mix of everything in GQ and some things from Maxim. You get some really good fashion pages, showing the latest trends in classy suits along with info on who makes them and how much they cost...some pictures of (usually) attractive women in tasteful poses...and then a few pages for things like drinks, professional sports info now and then, and of course the featured articles.
That's actually where Esquire shines, to me anyway. I've gotten more out of some of their articles than I ever did reading some of the editorials in Maxim and even GQ. One issue of Esquire had a lengthy story about a married couple's pet chimpanzee, and how it had to be put in an animal sanctuary. The couple went to visit him one day, and thanks to some very bad luck, the man was obliterated by two other chimps that had gotten out of their cages. I couldn't put the magazine down once I got into that story. It was interesting, well-written, and even had pictures of the guy before and after the attack to show just how bad he got it, even all these years later. Another great recent article had to do with a man who murdered his wife and kids because he was ashamed of being a failure, and how he wanted to make a difference before his execution. While waiting on Death Row, he saw a movie that made him want to donate his organs, but because of his scheduled lethal injection death, it would've rendered the organs useless, and thanks to the guy writing the article (who just so happened to have his identity stolen by the murderer), he ended up trying to jump through all the legal loopholes and find a way of getting a program set up for convicts to donate their organs to those who need them.
For a guy's magazine, Esquire is pretty good. This is coming from someone who pretty much has nothing to do with cars, sports or drinks (I'm more into real martial arts and fitness, being a dad and movies). I'm actually subscribing to the magazine right now as I'm typing this review because hey, for the price the subscription's going for, that's a heck of a deal. And Esquire has nothing but my full respect for having Christina Hendricks as their Sexiest Woman Alive. See? These guys DO make good decisions now and then.
magazine confirmation May 22, 2010

I think it is great to get a discount on the magazine of your choice but why doesn't the magazine confirm that we are getting a discount so that there is an understanding of how long (months) the magazine will be coming to our front door. That way we don't have to wonder whether the discount was reported to the magazine and that we are getting it. It seems the right way to handle the magazine discount business. gerald moorehead.
Great Mag. Poor Timing. May 22, 2010

I like the magazine. I just don't understand why, when computers make money transfers instantaneous, it takes over a month to begin my subscription.
 Pure socialist propaganda! May 11, 2010

Boy, this magazine has sure changed since I subscribed 20 years ago. Since I now have more time for reading I thought I'd try it again. What a mistake! The first issue I received was loaded to the gills with slavish adulation disguised as articles about all of our progressive socialist rulers. You can get the same fawning puppy love for fascism at the Daily Kos website and it won't cost you anything. After all, why should you reward the haters of capitalism with your capital?
 The magazine is great, but May 10, 2010

The information I received when I placed the order was that I would receive my first issue in 4 - 6 weeks. Fine, I then purchased the current issue at the newsstand because it was going to be 4 - 6 weeks before my subscription started. WRONG! I got the same issue in the mail 3 days later.
I'm all for quick service, but incorrect information sucks.
