    It's a hidden object game, only with desire.

    Those I SPY games are too annoying and boring at times.

    But, seeing as its Big Fish, I'm not surprised....
    —————————————

    On another note, I've read a romance novel one time in the bookstore. The writing and the story just makes me laugh out loud at the poor quality of it all.

    A Scavenger Hunt game? I'd more expect some kind of "choose your own adventure" style interactive novel from the leader in chick porn than this.

    What's next? The NRA releasing a puzzle game?

    @icepick314: I'm pretty sure the OP was kidding around. I very much doubt that anyone is so phenomenally stupid that they can't make the leap from the girl called Harley Quinn who dresses like a Harlequin to the word Harlequin.

    If there is such a person then I sincerely hope that Manly_McBeeferton is never allowed back into the gene pool for the good of the species.

    yes, pairing Wii Fit and Cosmo, a great combination. because no matter how cute and sexy you are as a woman, you're never cute and sexy enough.


    i hardly think girls who want to lose weight should be one-stop-shopping for a magazine that airbrushes the living fuck out of its already skinny, glamorous-than-thou models. GameStop, shame on you.

    We see a lot of women every day. This program has been a big hit for us already. Offering them these magazine subscriptions is about the same as offering all your male customers Maxim subscriptions when buying action games. Would it be stupid then?

    @Omnimon: ok it only had it on the January 2009 cover once, and it was yellow on pink (my eyes automatically ignore horrible design).


    BUT, a better question is... are we far enough past the women's right movement that men can now be liberated and have a magazine about sex (think GQ, but with SEX all over the cover, talking about milking a woman's glands) in grocery store aisles, or do we still have to feel like pervs buying them in some dirty 'NEWS" store, or online?

    @Thassodar: Proving you wrong would be tough, as you're not claiming that every issue of Cosmo has "sex" on the cover, only that you've never seen one that doesn't. The only way to prove you wrong would be to review a list of the Cosmo covers that you've seen, then to check those to see if any omit a direct reference to "sex".


    But if by "prove me wrong" you actually mean to simply show you a Cosmo cover that does not feature "sex" - here ya go: [upload.wikimedia.org]
