How Is The Lindsay Lohan Issue Really Selling?


Yesterday I posted about a Fox News survey of newsstands that said the Playboy issue featuring Lindsay Lohan on the cover was selling like crap because there was nothing new or original about the pictorial. Hugh Hefner then Tweeted the issue was selling great and TMZ reported that. So, how well exactly is the issue selling? At some point there will be actual numbers released. CNN called the 12 biggest newsstands in the four largest cities in the US and only one was sold out. They did not provide any information as to whether the issue was selling well, only that just one newsstand was sold out. Consider though that CNN and TMZ are the same company so does CNN really want to make TMZ look bad? I don't know why TMZ is so eager to jump on board the pro Lindsay sales wagon unless someone promised them an exclusive.

I think it is a bust.

Who the F-ck bought those mags? The pictures are free on the net. Although released illegally, and untouched. Just who the hell is dumb enough to buy an issue just to look at Lohan breasts?

Don't you know that we've seen them, and more, over the years up close and too personal?

Being "sold out" or not tells you nothing. Newsstands could have doubled up ont he number of copies ordered, in anticipation of bigger sales. Then poof, through the magic of mathematics, the newsstand sold more issues than normal but isn't sold out.

Who really cares if it's a big seller or not?

And CNN, would you please go back to reporting real news, instead of this crapola?!

I can't imagine this issue will sell well at all. The only reason I ever thought it might was so people could ogle the train wreck.

Since the photos leaked, everyone got to do it a week early & for free.

Dina, Lindz & Ali must have spent their all their allowances for the week clearing out that one newsstand..

(And no way do I believe she really got paid 1 million for this.)

I get the feeling that they didn't sell well.

Anyway who would be stupid enough to buy it just to see her nasty body???

Rita said...

Also, I don't understand what people imagined they'd be really seeing: it's Playboy, not Hustler.

I'd think a picture of her cootch would be more fitting for a journal on sexually transmitted diseases. Seriously, I imagine her genitalia being covered in slimy, moldy carbuncles.

Oh, who fucking cares?!? I'd rather read about the boy who bought toys for sick kids with his prize money instead of this skank's diseased ass.

Figgy!! Made me laugh.

@figgy - I laughed out loud!

I knew it would sell somewhat. She's a fantasy for the clueless guys that don't read as much celeb gossip as we do.... Ignorance is bliss. Or something.

Carbuncles!

Figgy, god, the mental image. I envision things like Davey Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies living down there.

Since the photos are on the internet to see, maybe the people who are buying the issue think it's cheaper to pay for the issue, rather than paying the high cost for color printer ink.

Bubbles said...

iheart, not to mention the morbid death watchers who think it will be a collectors item if she isn't around in the next few years.

timebob said...

@Bubbles, I think you have an excellent point there.

I am dumb, I admit it...but yesterday I set out to buy the Lohan PB and out here in Oxnard, CA, home to the onion and strawberry fields and ugly track homes eating up the greenbelt, no one had the issue. Even an adult DVD store said the issue was "late". The guy working there was very enthusiastic about it though. I asked him if people were asking for the issue and he said, "Yeah! It's Lindsay Lohan!" um, ok...fortunately this guy is not in charge of any brain trusts.

Let's just admit she's a fantasy for most guys and be done with the cattiness (and calling other women's bodies nasty).

You're right, Tatyana; she's just a poor innocent angel who hasn't done a thing to deserve our scorn.
