Show r 10 The Daily Utah -- Monday, March 29, 1999 Chronicle Magazine Provides Maxim to Live By By Geoff Rushton Daily Collegian step-by-st- (Pennsylvania State U.) en's fashion magazines may be too classy. Porno magazines may be too trashy. And men's health magazines arc definitely not for the cigarette-smokin- beer-chuggin- g, g, man of today. But one magazine has found a niche that transcends traditional television-lovin- g men's magazines.

And for horny guys who need ways to pick up women, Maxim offers help. In its piece "Pick Up Women with Maxim gave brilliantly simple ways to score some digits in bars. For those of you already in with the beauty of your dreams, Maxim provides even greater aid. In this April's issue a female instrucwriter offers tions for, let's say, "kissing a woman where it really counts." But the humor is what makes Maxim. Even a story about mangled penis enlargements is darkly funny with its photographs of a stitched banana. And the sidebar story about a man who broke his member during a wild sexual experience is tragic to any guy, yet sickly comical. But with the testosterone virtually oozing off its pages, Maxim is. bound to offend some women. "What's to it?" sophomore d Anna Mannozzi said. "It's women and weird stories." The magazine is definitely guy- oriented. But it's possible to draw a parallel between women's mag- a Sock Puppet!" I azines and Maxim. "It's like the guy Cosmo, or the guy Vogue," Karen Sko-moruc- ha said.
