View Full Version : Why do they insult the readers ?
Reading through issue 99 and enjoying it I turn to see 2 half page adverts for phone sex lines.
OK so what are they saying about us, the readers ?
They think we are all w-ankers, or sad farts that think the 'women' on the other end of the phone actually look like the pictures.
Advertising people only sell advertising space to the demographic they think are going to respond to them
So the advertising side think all bikers and readers are w-ankers.
I do hope that the special issue 100 will not have any of these adverts for a change.

In actual fact..I am fairly certain that this is not intended as an insult..they are actually extra pages that are given over to sponsers in the same way as tv adverts are...It is not personal but it is neccessary in order for the publication to survive...however..it would be better if they printed most of the adverts on complete A3 pages, both sides so that they could be removed without losing any of the editorial content..it would not cost the publishers anything and would stop some of the more sensitive readers from being offended...Think how many pages of advertising the computer magazines have...Just looking at both sides of the coin...John
Computer mags I read don't have porn adverts in.

Computer mags I read don't have porn adverts in.
They figure people who read computer mags are nerds
and have no problem finding free porn on the tinternet,
so it's not worth them advertising in them. :D

.
i dont realy care for those adverts
but business is business and those adverts do pay
the magazine isnt a charity and needs to make money.
John come up with a good idea where they are printed on a page with no content on the back so can be torn out if needed
now the important question
Who here uses them :) :)

The newspaper where I used to work had quite a lot of those ads in, plus ones for 'massage services', etc. You'd quite often see the 'madam' or whatever she was come in and talk to the advertising reps to place the adverts herself. The company made so much money from those ads, as they were regular advertising income. More often than not, the same ads could be used over and over again.
The strangest ones though, were the companies where adverts were paid for by what sounded like muslim blokes :rolleyes:

It was 20% actually, but that's still one in five - so I used it as the basis for an editorial that reasoned that if you and five of your SF-reading mates are sitting in the pub, one of you, statistically, takes it up the wrong 'un. :)

Unfortunately, the premium rate phone line companies are one of the few who will pay full rate card, which is why advertising departments like them. But, as the number of complaints about those ads was disproportionate to any other advertising area, in response to the readership, BSH reduced those ads to almost nothing two or three years ago, and refused to publish any more over a year ago.

all of the "boys" mags have just as many glossy s&x ads as 100%, Nuts & Exim (whaddever its called) so not quite the stigma in the launderette, although I do feel a bit strange if I read them in WHSmith :D (100% that is, not Nuts & Nipples etc)

i buy BSH for the bikes, not to look at softcore porn. if i want to look at nekid laydees, there are plenty of places on the interweb that cater for that, (ahem, apparently), surely the %age of readers who are too embarassed to buy a wank-mag and have to buy BSH for their visual stimulation can't be THAT high that they need to be catered for???
ditch the bints!!! :D
perhaps next time you do one of those pull-out-and-post-back-to-enter-a-prize-draw questionare thingies, ditching the bints, or not, could be one of the questions, to see how popular they really are with the saddo's?

They are not popular amongst us at all it is the money that they bring in through advertising that the publication needs.

Good, I much prefer a scantily clad young lady than a Nude one, nowt worse than some overstuffed plastic tits with over bitten nipples poking out. A little bit of coveradge is much better, And as been said before the cock pages pay for the bulk of the mag so put up with it, you could always find away of stciking those pages together :rolleyes:

I refer you sir to the survey with BSH a couple of months ago in which readers were indeed asked if they wanted to see more or less 'bonny burds and bosomy breasticules'. :)

get 'em to stand BEHIND the bikes.
Now that is quite a good idea. We buy the mag to see the bikes really and sometimes a well turned thigh can block a critical part of the bike. It is nice for a bloke or perhaps a lesbian to look at a nice looking girl, but would we really miss all that much tit and bum if they stood behind the bike?... ;) John

its just spun out of control (we will NEVER go so far as to have a grav in tights though-well maybe in "gay hosiers weekly")
and so the whole idea has just refined into Bikes that are fantastical, as are the "wives", although the women now tend to have bigger top ends, a harder big end, and some are more bored out than the bikes can be :eek: :D (that comment will bring Rukhsana out of the shadows)

Tomorrow? :confused:
(Yes, I know... and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.)

If an asteroid where to impact our fair planet in the Aegean sea, the Tsunami caused by the impact would devastate the entire Mediterranean coast. Italy would not be a particularly dry place to be. A 1km diameter ball of rock would create a tsunami 1000 feet high, thus making everyone in the region go glug, especially in low lying coastal areas such as Venice, which would cease to exist..
Not to mention the fact that the Eastern Med is seismologically VERY active and said asteroid would most likely set off earthquakes,volcanic eruptions etc......
So,if you didn't drown you'd probably be killed by collapsing buildings,falling into suddenly appearing crevasses,being conked on the skull by huge volcanic rocks,poisoned by toxic gasses or cooked by lava and/or pyroclastic flows. :rolleyes:

chelsea reads 100% and i make sure those pages have been taken out, that way even as a 4 year old, she can enjoy the bikes and we have good little chats about what ones she likes or not.....i believe that she and others of the same age are our future of biking
Should buy her BSH instead babe. Much more discerning, good selection of bikes, intelligent write ups, less biased and altogether much better value for your dosh.
If she carries on reading 100%, by the time she's 14 she'll be wondering why her boobs havent got that distinctive circle around the perimeter and why they dont stand up on end when she lies down. Wouldnt want any innocent children thinking they have to rush off to the plastic surgeon because they have had their mind blown by trout lipped, silicon trollops. ;)

Since this is the mag's forum and you obviously hate said mag and its editor,why are you here? :confused:

30-01-2008, 08:29 PM
eerrrrr, because I can and there is nowt in the rules to say I have to like the editor of the mag.
AND I'm not the only one of said opinion, as looking through the forum pages will show time and time and time again. :p

Okay,but you really seem to dislike him intensely.I don't particularly like some of his past decisions in the mag or answers on here,but I dont have a dig at him at every opportunity.

I get the impression that no one is completely satisfied with their own body, which is a shame, because whenever I have been asked to comment on a part of a womans body, it has always been a bit that I hadn't really noticed, Like we are both fully dressed and she says, what did you think of my ??? and I always say I thought it / they was / were very nice, Then next time you have to remember to look carefully....Leave them alone girls, they are lovely the way they are...they look like they were made for you.. :D John

its niks job to put the bikes in the mags and to do the right ups ( amonst other things no dought) and it isnt his decicion as to what advertisement is printed and if this magazine was exactly the same as BSH, it wouldnt be worth buying, it might not float your boat...but i like it and as it continues to be printed, then others must like it as well and as i said about chelsea reading it and looking at the bikes, i take out the 'smut' and read it with her....hence i can flit past the tits on the centre spread......
