Annoying pages.

[Seadog17]

I cannot find any reference to them in search and am sure someone must have posted on this before, but, does anyone else find the stiff card-like advert pages in the pbo as annoying as I do?

If the advertisers think they will constantly guide the reader to their offers, as they flick through the pages, by inserting these annoyances I think they may be mistaken.

As soon as I find one it is ripped out and discarded and I get on with enjoying my reading by flipping through the articles as I like.

Yes people have complained in the past... not seen anything for a good few years though.

Yes it really annoys me as well. It hasn't put me off the mag though - I've just renewed my subscription.

+1. Rip it out and bin it along with all the other detritus that PBO comes with.

Nah stops me flicking through cause I only see the adverts, so now I rarely buy any...

Annoys me too. First thing I do is rip it out!

when I buy any mag at Smiths/railway station/wherever, all the loose contents get handed to the cashier as unwanted advertising, thence straight into the bin I guess. It only serves to build resentment against the publisher for aggressive marketing. And, yes, I do realise that the advertisers pay the publisher for this fulfillment, so it - in theory - holds production costs down. What that theory fails to take into account is the hassle and cost of separating plastic wrappers, and disposing of expensively printed glossy paper which cannot be utilised for normal egg boxes.

ARGHH!!!!!

If you put a magazine down with the pages open, these fecking card pages cause it to shut.

MarineSuperStore are the usual culprits, perhaps they need a heads-up.
