Paul Harvey said recently that Walmart would no longer be carrying three magazines that “feature scantily clad women on the cover,” but he didn’t elaborate.

Which three magazines are these? I couldn’t find anything on the web at the time.

I’m interested because I participated in a letter writing campaign to get Walmart to stop displaying magazines of the likes of Cosmo at the checkout stand. I don’t care if they sell those magazines, just put them back on the magazine rack. They are the female equivalent of Playboy or Maxim and I don’t like the legitimacy they get from being at the checkout stand, as if they were as normal as bread and milk.

Enough with my rant. Anybody know which mags have been discontinued?
