I feel pity for those children who's parents think that the CGW world ads 
are bad for their mental health. Those are the parents who don't tell 
their children anything about sex, as if sex is something immoral or 
dirty. And at the same time they let their children play with plastic 
guns. 

The target audience for CGW is perfect for companies that want to sell 
X-rated material. The readers are 29 years old, on average, 97% male, and 
very willing to be entertained. It doesn't matter if the ads have 
something to do with the games in the magazine or not. The target 
audience is perfect.

To the morons who think the sex ads are bad for their children:

CGW has many screen shots from games where you see explosions, 
mutilations, corpses and armoury. Did you ever post a message in these 
newsgroups complaining about that?  No, you didn't.  Why not?  Because 
you're obviously being a louzy parent (IMHO), that's why.

Complain about things that are worth complaining about. There are worse
things in the world than sexual activities, as God/nature (whatever you 
want) gave it to us.

There are dozens of wars going on on this planet, and guess what people 
worry about: breasts!
