If I wasn't done with Trends last month, I am now

Okay, before the mag goes in the dumper this month, I look at the editorial. Looks like we're not the only ones fussing about the NME ad. And what it Ryans take on it? He says oh, we should just laugh about it. What a dork.

He's trying to make light of it.
really its no big deal.
Just look at the Euro mags, they even have phone sex ads...
I dont see the big deal.
If They need to raise more money to make the mag better, then Im all for it.
I would love to see one of the US mags step up to the plate and make their mag as good as one of the Euro mags, and if it takes ads like that, then do whatever it takes to get the job done.

To escape having your kids see those ads in magazines and TV would require some serious sequestration from the real world. The questions will come as they get older, one way or the other. We cannot hope to keep our children as naive as we were once. Might as well get ready to answer the questions with honesty and in this case a dose of humor...

And back to my problem with my new big feet...

Thanks,

been thinking for quite a while that I could publish a magasine on par or better than many out there. Maybe its time to try.

hmm maybe thats an idea, theres lots of cool cars out on the net that have never made it into the mags, and really should.

anyone think this is a decent idea? I'd put it together from online submissions, and I could have it published and mailed out to whoever would be interested. might be a little thin without all the ads and such.

gimme some feedback on the idea, I've done some publishing so its not an amature job that'll be done, if enough people are into the idea, I'll open a website/forum for submissions and such.

i know of plans going on for an upcoming one (and no, i am not the one...no more extra time left). not sure of full format and such yet, but i know a GL guy with some influence (and this time, i am the one ) on the president of the mag.

i agree there are many cars out there worthy and just don't get the chance. it is not like the photographers just comb the country though. it is mostly who you know and convenience of being at the same place at the same time. at least for us east coast guys. west coast is a whole nother story.

I'd like to see a mag where they also show the average joe's Car.
Not just the top-dollar showcars, but decent cars with the ghetto mods that most of us can afford.

I'm not saying that there should be *no* coverage of the showcars, but it should be mixed.
