Whore! Magazine - Would You Read It?

Even though print media is having a bit of a difficult time, with so many publications choosing to go online instead, a new magazine is all set to hit news stands in the U.S by spring 2010.
What’s interesting about this one is its name.
The magazine to be is titled, Whore! Whether that’s a reflection of the original and possibly controversial material it claims it will publish, or just a promotional gimmick, is yet to be seen.
Whore!’s website says, “We intend to recognize those women, both modern and historical, who strive for experience rather than conventional “goodness,” and continue to fight an age-old battle against expectation.” It goes on to add, “Whore! magazine will be a quarterly print magazine investigating culture, ascendancy, shame, and the desire to be.”
Wonder whether they'll be able to rope in some big names to pose for their cover.
With a name like that, the magazine runs the risk of not being taken seriously, being thought of as trashy, or worse - alienating a lot of women. While one of its aims is celebrating female individuality, with a title like that, it may actually be stereotyping the very women it features and aspires to reach out to.
And how many women would happily leave copies of a magazine called Whore! lying around their house? 
Would you buy it?
