More wisdom from Grand Rapids

Another tidbit gleaned, long after the fact, from my belated browsing of long-stockpiled issues of Locus: WOOD-TV, an all-"news" television station in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where the Calvinists roam the streets like roaring lions, has deemed Asimov's Science Fiction to be (horrors!) an ADULT publication, and they are SHOCKED that it would be included on a list of magazine subscriptions available through a school fundraising program, right alongside such sterling family-oriented publications as Esquire, Vogue, GQ, and Elle.

Asimov's response here. Discussion at Analog here.

(Long silence.)

Heh. Heh. Huh. WOOD-TV. (giggle.) They said "wood". Heh-heh! Heh-heh!

(Whap!) Shut up, assmunch!

Heh, heh....
