Jeff bought me an American magazine. He was very proud of himself-- it was a pregnancy magazine, and the cover boasted articles on breast-feeding and pre-natal exercise; subjects he thought I would like. And I would like them-- if these articles were actually in the magazine!
As I went through the magazine, I noticed entire pages had been torn out. Pictures of women wearing skirts, or tank tops, had been defaced with a black Marks-a-lot. I didn't know men here actually had jobs where they had to go through each individual magazine and cover up bare skin! They literally use the black marker to cover up bare legs, or bare arms. Then they decided (for me) that it was inappropriate or see or read articles on breastfeeding and prenatal exercise-- two very healthy, normal subjects. But what do I know.
The magazine cost $15, the US cover price was $3.99. Talk about not getting your money's worth!
