Why do magazines
make you skip to another page to finish an article? Why can't they just put it on the next page instead of skipping ahead a whole bunch of pages? I have never understood that. I am sure there is some reason, but what?

1. Most magazines are printed in Europe
so there is a conversion from metric to English measurements.

4. what about Asian magazines printed for US readers?
it's metric, to standard, to metric, to standard.

No wonder the pages keep falling out!

6. what I cannot understand
Advertising in Maxim Magazine...

"Men"'s magazine with the emphasis on scantily clad females and then some, but all the "fashion" ads have Euro-trashy looking dorks modeling overpriced shirts all over the magazine.
