Very intuitive and well written. There are no limits on how low advertisers will sink these days. In NZ anything seems to go. Children seem to be in every add here. Though if buying the magazine means you can't afford the cake. it defeats purpose of add. Have a great week David in NZ

At the checkout counter at the store A feast of love, gore and more Eye candy for those that await The solitude of a date. Away from their everyday misery An escape with this treasure To feast on the pictures Savor the mysteries. And for a moment be free From burdens and cares to be For only a pound (dollar) life has glamor and more. Maybe, just maybe all should buy A cheap escape, soaring into the sky Flying away with dreams untold Just a dollar (pound). Sold!
