Zoo Weekly goes out in a blaze of glory – and a raised middle finger to its critics

Bauer Media’s now defunct lads mag Zoo Weekly has gone out with a bang, a fortnight after the publisher announced the closure of the struggling title.

The cover features a raised middle finger. Inside, editor Shayne Bugden tells readers: “It’s for all the shouty killjoys who’ve spent years telling us – and you – that we’re horrible people because we like beautiful women and taking the piss out of just about anything.”

In the note, headlined “From the bloke who ruined Zoo”, he added: “I feel like the Tony Abbott of magazine publishing: a bloke who got a top job and f**ked it up before so much as three years had gone by.”
