A little SAT-style word association....
I've long thought that Maxim and Cosmo are basically the same magazine, just aimed at difference genders.
They both have gorgeous women on the cover (though admittedly, Cosmo's a little more tastefully done), and give funny stories and advice on the inside. Granted, the specific content is mostly skewed towards the particular gender for which the magazine is aimed, but I'm pretty sure there's something in there for everyone.
They also both have far more entertaining UK versions.
Back in the day (i.e.: Second Year) when I lived with Melissa, we used to both pick up our gender appropriate magazine, read them, and trade. Like advanced scouting on the opposite sex, I guess. I'm not sure I've ever really admitted to this in an open forum before... Oh well.
My point? I think in this little Blogosphere of ours here, there are equivalents, hence the SAT reference in the title to this post.
In my mind:
Tucker Max is to The Bunny (a.k.a. Erin Tyler), as Maxim is to Cosmo... right down to the fact that they actually reference one another semi-regularly. Although to my knowledge, the editors from the magazines have never dated.

I'm not totally sure how Maddox fits into this, or why I don't link to The Bunny Blog, but I just felt that this little nugget needed to be aired.
So there.

I prefer Maxim. I can only assume that section of horror stories in cosmo is the equivalent to the dirty jokes page. I would choose dirty jokes over hearing about awkward sexual encounters any day.
Though nothing beats UK cosmo's naked guy expose...the literary genius is astounding...
