I was looking through some old Maxims the other day when i came acros this letter to the editor :)
This response really epitomizes why I read the magazine :rollin
It's all too easy to be cynics nowadays, isn' it? Just sit back and criticize anyone with a cause or an idiosyncrasy - your petty formula. But u perpetuate all problems except for lack of cool by making men think that not caring is the height of cool irony. You went over board by criticizing Bono for fighting fir forgiveness of third world debt, because "it's easy to give money away that isn't yours, u twit" ["The Most Dangerous Men on Earth"]. It's even easier to ignore social issues for stale jokes, you twits. Do you know anything about what debt does to those countries? Read up. It affects your little lives too, too. Rebirth your heart or stop it altogether.

You’ve got a point, Anthony. We have been a bit callous and lazy lately, and at times when we can’t think of anything intelligent to say, we often resort to sarcasm and irony. Thanks for pointing that out. And for that we’d like to take you out for a nice lunch. Oh, that’s right. You’re in prison.
