That's the flaw in your logic though... You, on one hand, say that
these ads belong in a computer magazine because they are aimed at
computer users, but then on the other hand you do not feel that it is
right to review these "pieces of entertainment"... So if they are
unworthy of being reviewed because this may outrage some of the
readership, why not follow it up with the assumption that these games
therefore must not appeal to the readership... Because in essence what
you are saying is, is that the presence of these ads does not alienate
a majority of the readership, a review of their content however may
just very well... So doesn't that make these "games" unworthy to be at
all in the magazine???
