FHM, infamous for their big butt and large breast picture shoots is finally closing down. Emap, which publishes the 1.25 million circulation title announced the movie this morning. “The decision is consistent with the group’s strategy of focusing resources on faster growth platforms and has been taken in light of the difficult trading conditions in the U.S. market,” says a release from the company, which sold its other U.S. titles to Primedia in 2001. “The U.S. online site … which forms an important part of the brand’s ongoing and increasing international presence, will continue to operate.”

The magazine has operated as the Number 1 selling magazine amongst teens in the United Kingdom but Maxim has continued to dominate the market in the United States.
