Bizarre Magazine UK April 2012

Bizarre is a self-described "alternative" and "non-mainstream" magazine. It
is a sister publication to Fortean Times. It has no connection to the fetish
publication also known as "Bizarre" published between 1946-1959. The magazine
has a wide variety of features and articles which include unusual news events
from around the world, drug usage, different types of fetishistic and deviant
behavior, interviews with famous counterculture figures and showcases of cult
directors, musicians and authors. Bizarre has also covered legislation regarding
sex offences and civil liberties, along with issues like censorship and human
rights abuses, both domestically and abroad. It has also started a campaign to
raise awareness of prejudice towards subcultures following the murder of Sophie
Lancaster. From the start the publication had much in common with more mainstream
lad's mags, typically featuring a semi-nude model on the front cover, nude
photography in special sealed 'x rated' sections inside, and frequent reviews of
weird gadgets, films, music, and websites. They regularly cover art, gay culture,
the avant-garde and the Cinema of Transgression in their art and music reviews.
