    I would've scrapped that because it's really lame.

    What a remarkably tasteless advert.

    Because girls aren't PCF's target market. It looks like their female readers have had enough, though.

    That's extremely sexist. The political correct term is "girlfriend"

    But agree that the ad is not in good taste.

    I stoped buying PC mags due to lack of content and good insight, and i can see how this might be offensive. But i dont know what to think about it due to not buying the mags anymore.
