Local Mags

Recently, i've been buying lotsa books and magazine. Well, better spend it on expanding my knowledge especially when it's tax deductable. I haven't been buying local mags for a long time. A LOONGG.. LOOOOOOONGG time.. Infact, i have forgotten why i've stopped buying local car mags.


Today, i saw this local mag with GOOD YEAR drift cars there. I recently started a topic on drift.com.my. It was about this event we had in sunway. Posted some car pics there. That itself, started a fire. Someone claiming how much horsepower the car got and doubts came .. soon it went into a frenzy.

I bought that magazine hoping to get a better angle on what's under the hood. Guess what? that article aside. I had to go through endless ADVERTISEMENTS just to reach the INDEX page. That made me wonder how many pages of ads they have there vs the pages of the magazine. So i counted. U go Guess....

1. Ads : 141 pages
2. Total pages of the entire magazine : 241 pages

That means, it's only 100 pages of pictures and write ups. That itself doesn't count the 'review' sections. Review sections are actually 'more detailed' advertisements. No fucking wonder some people are damn fuckin rich nowadays.

After being on a healthy dosage of foreign car mags, i find these local mags are just 'not up to standards'. It's like "Let's just get the job done and take the consumer's money". Even the write up itself lacks 'the heart' or the 'passion' ... like what my friends put it "fuckin a dead fish whore"

No puns intended for anyone ok? chill...
