Keith,

Not a problem...as far as I am concerned we can't expect to run public forums and not get criticism of what we do. In fact there is value in that and the feedback is always considered here.

Re: Opened can of worms

It's disgusting. The Sunday Sport might stoop to this level.

Besides it seems like strange marketing practice. On the one hand IPC is expecting readership with a hundred grand or more spare loot and on the other hand thick enough to believe in the scrach cards. I'll be wary of IPC mags from now on on the grounds that if thats a scam, the rest of the mag might also be!

No it's not harsh. These scratch cards do nothing for the reputation of a publication. They simply taint MBM with a bit of cheap n tackiness. I think some of the more reputable newspapers have banned them as should IPC rather than making dirty money out of what is basically a scam.

I was referring to the "the rest of the mag might also be!" statement.....

I agree about the cards completely, but this does not mean the entire mag is a scam....
