Same with GQ. Johnny Knoxville is on the cover. Johnny Knoxville seems like a nice enough guy, and Jackass is entertaining enough at pinchhit time, but does he merit the cover of GQ? The articles have been dumbed down enough for the average Sigma Nu elephant walker to read while beer bonging Bacardi coolers. Instead of being a market leader, it chases magazines like Stuff and FHM towards the least common denominator. This is the strategy has that more or less killed Esquire. The only thing remaining in GQ worth reading consistently is the Style Guy, and even he has been slipping (how many columns do you need warning the high school punching bag that the swirly resulting from making fun of kids who shop at Wal Mart is not stylish?).
Vanity Fair remains good cover to cover. Juice has good band interviews for the aged. Us is my guilty pleasure.
