Talk:Screw (magazine)

Is this still being published?
A cursory Google search turns up no webpage, a surefire sign in my experience that something is no longer with us. (Also, if any Firefox developers are reading this, please add the word webpage to the spellchecker. I mean, really.) --zenohockey (talk) 06:00, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Screw suffered "ill-health"?
here's the sentence: "In 2003, after suffering through several well-publicized harassment trials, ill health, reckless spending and mismanagement, Screw declared bankruptcy."

It would seem that Goldstein is the subject of this sentence, not Screw magazine, unless it is confusing both Screw and Goldstein. It needs to sort the harassment trials, Goldstein's ill health, and reckless spending and mismanagement by him or his magazine. What is attached to what here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.18.129 (talk) 22:41, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Trouble archiving links on the article
Hello. I am finding myself repeatedly archiving links on this page. This usually happens when the archive doesn't recognize the archive to be good.

This could be because the link is either a redirect, or I am unknowingly archiving a dead link. Please check the following links to see if it's redirecting, or in anyway bad, and fix them, if possible.

In any event this will be the only notification in regards to these links, and I will discontinue my attempts to archive these pages.

"Low importance"??
Once upon a time, Andy Warhol opined that future archeologists would be a lot more interested in our washing machines than our paintings and sculptures. Similarly future historians will very possibly be more interested in Screw than in The Atlantic, Esquire, or Playboy. The mind-boggling sexual upheavals, explosions, crack-ups and reactions of the past half-century are going to puzzle psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, astrologers, and any zeitgeist-spelunkers for centuries to come. Screw's extreme vulgarity and total absence of cultural pretensions (but with more exuberant humor than in the grim, vile contents of porn shops) give it a slice-of-life authenticity... It will chronicle history in the making, and in the unmaking — the unmaking was already under way within a few months of Screw's debut, as women's liberation gained a (well-deserved) foothold on the outskirts of what had called itself "The Revolution". AND to top it all off, if Screw really did break the story of J.Edgar Hoover's sexuality, that one scoop alone is enough to give this publication some lasting significance — considering how much sexual blackmailing and blacklisting was associated with Hoover's deeply malignant political influence; and JEH was probably more influential than most presidents. No doubt some future editors will propose deleting this subject from Wikipedia, but that would be a mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.65.206 (talk) 05:13, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
