Incredibly enough, some of you are expending so much of your
energy and time in something that is really insignificant.
I apologize to all CSIPGS folks for even bothering to pursue 
this thread, and I hope it's the last one.  
Let's think about this.  The reason that some of you people
are in such a huff about the ads--could it be that some of
you are actually like it and are ashamed of it?  Well, if
that's the case, don't fret.  Doesn't mean you're a pervert
or a deviant.  It just means that you're a healthy, normal adult
(or adolescent, whatever.)  The problem with this country
is the straight-laced puritanical type that have instilled
us in our minds since the day of Mayflower that our body
is somehow "dirty."  What?! how twisted can you get?  
So, the ads are somewhat provocative.  They are (shudder)
sexy.  So what?  What's a 13 year old reading the magazine
going to do?  I guess we have to worry that his mind is
now polluted and worry about him being a rapist.  

I'll have you know, in places like Japan and Germany where
nudity in publication is an accepted thing, yet you don't
see all the youths there all messed up, do you?  If anything
the unhealthy repression of the natural is what's messing up
the youths of America.  So all the people who don't like the ads,
lighten up, be honest with yourself, and don't be so damn 
tight-assed all the time.

	No, how 'bout I be honest with you. You statement to my
mind is just a bunch of jumbled, confused foolishnish. You
"select" the potential age of a young reader as "13". Gee,
that's real ass-tute of you. The issue being debated is not the
relative age of 13, but the relative age of 7 or 8. So get a
clue mr. know-it-all. My niece and nephew are currently
visiting and they've been looking at my CGW mags for days now;
ages: 8 and 10. Obviously I allow them to read the mag, but I
would prefer that the sex-ads not be present, as they are
mostly gratuitous B.S. in relation to computer gaming. 

	Oh, by the way, I'd rather be a tight-ass than a
dumb-ass. 

	Unimpressed by your babble,
