26a Stupid *** gets in *** as magazine proprietor (7)

I have.... S_R_B_S

Looks like Strobes to me (possibly anagram of "***" and "b" representing "***") but if that is the answer, I don't get why it is a magazine proprietor. Any ideas?

Help Plz. Thank You

I think it's Strobes, one of their in-jokes - it was vaguely familiar to me when I did this earlier.

sorry, fell foul of the web site not allowing swear words in the clue. So I will do my best to fill in the "***" without using the words. The first is a descriptive word that rhymes with dosser and would be used in conjunction with a scottish sportsman with a caber, and the second is a rude word for illegitimate, beginning with the letter b. Sorry, not great descriptions..
