UK retail group gives lads' mags deadline to cover up

The Co-operative in the UK has given publishers of lads’ magazines an ultimatum to cover them up in “modesty bags” or face having them removed from shelves across 4,000 stores.

Titles such as Front, Loaded, Nuts and Zoo – known for their pictures of scantily-clad models – have been given until September 9 to deliver the magazines in pre-sealed bags.
