Mea Culpa

Maxim magazine issued an apology to their readers. You know, horny straight dudes that don’t like the pink background.
The mag fucked up and they’re owning up to it!
A Maxim music critic gave the Black Crowes‘ new album War Paint a crappy review…despite the reviewer not even listening to the album!!!!
Shady!
That review rightfully peeved the former Mr. Kate Hudson and his band. They posted a statement on their site last week saying the Maxim writer could not have heard the entire album because advance copies weren’t even available. The Crowes’ manager, Pete Angelus, said the magazine explained that its review was an “educated guess.”
WTF? An educated guess????
The mag has since issued the following statement:
“It is Maxim‘s editorial policy to assign star ratings only to those albums that have been heard in their entirety. Unfortunately, that policy was not followed in the March 2008 issue of our magazine and we apologize to our readers.”
We hope Maxim‘s sister publication, Blender, doesn’t do the same thing!
