I'm just pointing out what I thought was obvious... If you think it's okay, that's fine. But just know what you're doing. This isn't just a free offer for everyone to use. It's exploitation.

In this particular case, I can't see how the free bag of candy for answering a survey is any different.

So you're saying we're all thieves? I'm willing to bet we would have a better chance of charging you with slander than for them to charge us with theft... because this isn't theft.

To steal means to take without the owner's consent. We are merely making an application to receive magazines. It is up to the company to decide whether they would like to approve the application. If they do, then we are no longer taking anything without their consent. If they don't, then they don't.

A year subscription isnt exactly expensive. I remember when I had one it was like less than $20 or something for the year. If you buy them @ the magazine stores, yes it's expensive @ $7 each.

It's hilarious to watch people justify what they know is bullshit. Enjoy your free magazines! :lol

1) I didn't create Fembot
2) It is looking out for "fellow RS peeps". Without the ads and Adbot, the servers would still not be paid for.

People here love to take shit for granted, and on top of that will jump on the opportunity to exploit peoples' oversights and mistakes in order to get $20 or even $1 of free shit. It's pathetic.

I would have suggested maybe adding a suite number to one or both addresses...

Like even if you live in a house, just add Suite #1 and Suite #4 to the address...

alright, thanks for the advice. if it doesn't work, i'll just put in my friend's address since she's a girl and probably doesn't read maxim

wouwou 07-10-2009 12:44 PM

Your first issue will be SEP 2009.

Oh YEAH

In_MODeration 07-10-2009 02:19 PM

Nice!!!! Btw skinny pup, maxims intention was probably to provide this as a sample. They are expecting about maybe 5% of everyone continue and renew their subscription. In other words... Through us "stealing" they get more circulation. I guess that's enough to make a good $ in their pockets

BlackV62K2 07-10-2009 04:59 PM

Sept 2009 for me.....LOLs @ ppl that are getting them next summer. It's probably just a mistake.
