I understand where you're coming from man but seriously my dad the same to me. When ever a boobie was to pop out I wasn't allowed to look, but he was. Which in turn made me want to know what it looked like, many hours searching on Google etc... In school all they do is go onto these websites and see much much worse than this, kids grow up and you can't protect them from everything.
Yes it's wrong placing these adverts in magazines that kids get their hands on, but still... Was they any worse than the deodorant adverts you see on TV with them half naked. Kids grow up and there will be nothing that 1 person can do about it.
But as you say, if I wanted to see naked chicks I would buy a damn mag.

I think the younger members here are missing the point the older ones actually care about. Sure a 12 year old can go onto Google (although a school should have decent firewalls, Hampshire's do), but the fact these are in a magazine that children are likely to want to read about games is just not needed.

Yeah I totally agree with you about the magazines part, don't get me wrong. The thing is like I said you see worse when you watch TV, infact just seen an advert on TV @ 7:24 about some woman shaving or whatever and it was aimed @ a sexual nature. I used to walk through town and see girls with hardly anything on when I was 12 and it never did me any harm
. Hiding children away from the fact of life isn't right, think back to when you were that age. They need to learn sometime and @ the age of 16 is too late, they learn sex education at 11 which is full nudity so why all the stress?

yeh but there is a difference between
Normal adversing and then this in a gaming mag ->
If that pics offends then please remove ...
and this was one of the calmer add's. I put a complaint forward any way. Stuff them as far as im concerned they what to put add's in like this then the mag should be on a top self.
Any kid can pick this up at any age and view it with out a parent knowing.
P.s Asda here locally have removed it off there shelf's (once my lass complained) now compelety. If they wont listen to us one way there is all ways another. Hit them in there pocket were it hearts the most ...

Especially bad is targeting kids by things like sexual texts and stuff. They cost a fortune and use up all their credit. Then when they actually need the phone (emergency etc), the credits gone...

I don't personally believe in under 16s *atleast* having mobile phones, but that's another topic.
When can you tell you are an addict.... When you read 'Extreme V.I.D.' in those ads 
As in voltage ID
Seriously though, this should not be in any magazine that's not xxx rated. Even when I'm reading through my old time car magazine (public 25y+ most probably) I wouldn't want to see that, let alone 'my' kids.

"Text MOIST to...." oh dear....
You could take this quite far matey. Get local or even national media involved. If it makes headlines (or anywhere near) then there will be a mass pull of the mag off the shelves or they will be forced to move it to the top shelf.
Heck, you've got access to post news on OC3D aint ya

theres a place for these kind of ads
on the net on certain sites (oc3d and redtube etc. lol)
magazines of that kind of genre from hardcore to the likes of nuts etc.
but it shudnt be in games magazines...or even newspapers anyone can have access to that.
my parents bought me games mags which were rated like 15/18 just because they purely thought it was games etc. - bit of a kick in the teeth if its a porno in disguise

You may want to quickly give that a little edit and perhaps be briefer.
