For the record, Playboy is considered a very well-respected literary magazine. The "I just read the articles" bit actually isn't as ridiculous as it sounds - it's a well-written magazine. For example, in Nat'l Forensics League debate tournaments, it's often utilized (by convention) as a 'primary source' for commentary, especially political - not on the same level as, but alongside, the Economist and etc.
Now - as far as Maxim goes, don't feel insulted for me - as a relatively intelligent man, I can appreciate it for what it is - escapism, pure and simple. It's appeal is on a level purely associated with primal urges - sex, beer, friends, etc. Guys need these things - these are what make us who we are, and while that might not make sense to everyone, it's the way it is.
