The magazine industry's oddest moments this past year include a very "Bird Talk" September 11 and Detroit (among other cities) being named Maxim's "The Greatest City on Earth".

There are some gems in there... The cover of the January 2003 issue of High Times, the marijuana magazine, asks the question: "Was Jesus a Stoner?" Inside, the answer comes back and it's a resounding affirmative. Citing "outlawed Christian texts," the gospel according to High Times proclaims the good news: Jesus anointed his disciples with a powerful potion composed of olive oil and marijuana. The result, High Times reveals, was "knowledge of all things."

Detroit is the greatest city on Earth. One reason: Red Wings.

If Maxim keeps this up they're going to have a serious credibility problem . . . I don't know how much credibility Maxim has had at the best of times. You could probably do this kind of list in any year - I bet 2002 wasn't any exception in terms of bizarre magazine moments. However, there are specific magazines that have gone downhill. I used to read Glamour very regularly ten years ago and I don't remember seeing anything anywhere near as stupid as the Spinach Experiment. Evidently Glamour hasn't recovered from the Bonnie Fuller effect.

Wow, nice slash at JANE: "Jane, the increasingly vulgar and idiotic women's magazine, ran a cover story on actress Lara Flynn Boyle and printed this comment on the spine of the magazine: "This cover girl made our writer puke." I'm in favor of all anti-JANE sentiment, since I had such high hopes for it as the adult SASSY, and it totally disappointed me.

I have to admit, the Maxim part is pretty funny. They really are players.
