Cosmopolitan goes to Mongolia
By Peter SmithDecember 7th, 2010, 8:05 pmComments (4)
Or rather, Mongolia's getting its own edition of Cosmopolitan (much though we might relish the idea of Cosmopolitan and everything it represents being exiled to the desert like a deposed Han dynasty warlord). Above, an image of an average Mongolian farmer and the magazine I'm having a hard time imagining him reading. Apparently, Cosmo itself is having a hard time imagining this — the initial print run is only 7000 copies. But they probably know what they're doing, as this is their sixty-first international edition. Stephen Colbert had some fun with this story last night — check out the video below.

I see plenty of articles about body hair and how to style it coming down the pipe.
a bunch of kids in my high school came from mongolia and were pretty well adjusted. they say it's not that much different there *shrug*
@eee: I'm suspecting they said they were from "Philadelphia". You just misheard them is all.

@Twolane I also asked my classmate the question "wait, so Mongolia isn't mostly rural and it actually has cities like this one?" But I guess I could still be mistaken..though they did form their own Mongolian ethnic club and speak to each other in Mongolian.....
