Sex in the naughties

2006-01-13 19:59:16.272713+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

The Spectator magazine web site says:

Spectator Magazine has ceased publication. Despite recent improvements in the design, content and distribution of the Spectator, long standing debts and changes in the market have forced us to close. We would like to thank our readers and advertisers who have supported us over the past 27 years.

I don't know the full story behind this, but I've felt in the general cutlure, and I think in myself, a shift towards sexuality from the '90s to now, and... I don't have the time to try to come up with an essay describing what that is, but I think the demise of a magazine like this is an important data point in that change.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
