Now as long as > they don't show any, eh..'crucial' parts...what's wrong with those ads? 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??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean Kaye 2nd Year Arts Carleton University Email address: sk...@chat.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------
