Holy crap!! Thats almost 60% of the pages being ads. I did feel that the ACI anni issue had a ton load of ads, but I never imagined its an overwhelming majority. I even remember some BHPians commenting on the same in the other magazine thread.
@ Sam : Absolutely not man! Are we paying to read advertisements or content? I can understand that there are bills to be paid, but you really dont need 250+ pages of ads to foot the bills. Again, you may enjoy seeing the adverts but I dont. I want to read on car stuff....test-drives, news, scoops etc. Its a car magazine, remember? If it was ACI's 8th anni, it was also OD's 9th anniversary. How come they have kept the balance much more reasonable? Its a simple business decision and one that I dont agree with as a reader.
If the numbers are correct, its a terribly disappointing state of affairs.
@ Rt : I still dont agree. Whether I am paying 50 bucks or a 100, having more ads than content just doesnt cut it.
