Paul Merrill defends lads' mags
25 Jun 2013
Paul Merrill has given a robust defence of lads’ mags, while promoting his new book A Polar Bear Ate My Head.
“Speaking from Sydney, [Paul] remains a passionate defender of lads’ mags and was angered last month to see a group of lawyers warning that shops selling titles such as Zoo, Nuts and Loaded could be sued by employees not comfortable with handling them.
‘I think it is one of the most ludicrous and ridiculous things I’ve ever heard of,” he says. “I think it’s absolutely criminal if it goes through. To say it is sexual discrimination for a Tesco worker to handle a magazine like Zoo is ludicrous. Where does it stop?’”
