Why do they put bums on the back of magazines?

Without wishing to sound like an old Morecombe and Wise routine, why do they put bums on the back of respectable magazines such as word?
As i was sitting on the train last evening, reading the latest edition, I became conscious of getting some strange looks from the woman sitting opposite. It was only when I was at home in the evening and had left the mag on the table that my daughter pointed out that daddy has a picture of a man's bum.

Better than the Radiohead
Better than the Radiohead issue where it looked like they'd put a bum on the front...
And art galleries......
Why all that naked flesh?
Especially when I have gone to look at some pictures.
(But, come on, Word isn't quite Shaven Ravers, even with a relatively tasteful and harmless view of some backsides. I hope your dter found it as funny as it befits. Amusing, but only because of folk who forget what they are sitting on and what comes out of it.)
bums
the tube posters for the album have the naked bits airbrushed out.
But I see them on the TV adds
for Visa. And thats not even art. Are we still prudes?
Never mind the back
This lot put them on the front cover too.
Subscription
The woman on the train was probably wondering why her subscription copy hadn't arrived yet.
Shaven Ravers?
Aren't they playing at Reading this year?
