    The sst is only good got lining a budgies cage now. I saw the other day the herald has had 52 articles featuring max key in the past year, probably double that for Millie Holmes and Lorde.

    <p>You might not like her music but it's pretty unfair to put her in the same category as Max Key and Millie Holmes.</p>

    <p>I used to get the SST and read the whole thing (minus the property etc) over the course of a Sunday. The last time I flipped through one it took me about 10 minutes before I'd run out of something even half decent to read.</p>

    What catagory is that? And what are the other two in? I was thinking they seem a little obsessed with them .<br><br>
    Who looks at the part with the photos of rich people getting married or going to parties? Apart from other rich people obviously .

    <p>I was thinking along the lines of Lorde is famous for something - her music. The other two are famous for being the offspring of other famous people.</p>

    What's weird is magazines don't seem to be suffering as badly as papers, Bay fisher is not a nationwide mag . Not bad seeing as it started off as a bop only publication.<br><br>
    I think one of those "lads" mags like Ralph or something died recently though. I'm not sure why they exist in the first place ,

    Yep, I've heard comment recently that circulation is up for (some? most?) magazines. I suppose it's the appeal of a more in depth read.

    <p>Its the papers obsession with them that they have in common, also its not Lordes music that I can't stand. I suspect she has the political leanings of a young Eleanor Catton and I'm surprised she hasn't shared them with us yet.</p>

    <p>Yeah,a lot of magazines seem to have taken to the web a bit better than most papers.  But it looks its all bad news for the lads mags though, I was trying to find out which one went belly up and it was something called zoo. The article said fhm and ralph are gone too <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/72173586/Racy-lad-mag-Zoo-Weekly-to-close-last-edition-October-12'>http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/72173586/Racy-lad-mag-Zoo-Weekly-to-close-last-edition-October-12</a></p>
