Snapchat removed Cosmopolitan’s new porn site known as Cosmo After Dark less than a week after it was launched following an uproar by parents over the easy access of its pornographic content to children.
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) is declaring victory as Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, announces it is pulling Cosmopolitan magazine from checkout stands in about 5,000 of its stores.
Cosmopolitan magazine is urging its readers to count down to the holidays this year with its own “Sex-Vent” calendar – complete with step-by-step instructions for how to make Christmas and Hanukkah all about lust.
As part of its weekly series called “Sex Work,” Cosmo profiles women who have careers in the sex industry. Recently, the magazine’s website featured an article narrated by a woman who works as a prostitute in a legal brothel in Nevada.
Walmart has joined several other major supermarket chains with its own commitment to enforce its policy of placing Cosmopolitan magazine behind blinders in their stores across the nation.
Several major supermarket chains will place Cosmopolitan Magazine behind blinders in their stores as a result of a campaign launched in April to protect young children and adolescents from the blatant sexual material on the magazine’s cover.
Taking part in the kick-off of the Cosmo Harms Minors campaign this past week, Dr. Alveda King said Cosmopolitan’s content helps “line the pockets of the abortion industry” and that “Planned Parenthood is joining with Cosmo” to “lead that girl into an abortion.”
The granddaughter of publisher William Randolph Hearst announced the launch of a campaign Wednesday in Washington, D.C. to protect children from the readily available sexual content of Cosmopolitan Magazine which, according to the Hearst Corporation, is the best-selling young women’s magazine in the United States.
“Cosmo is anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-marriage, and promotes a deviant lifestyle centered on sex,” she says. “It promotes promiscuity – with its risks of getting STDs, being raped or murdered, and its promise of emotional and psychological damage, including suicide,” the granddaughter of the founder of the Hearst Corporation says.
