Dear Pedro, I read the December ‘08 article about curling (“Thrills & Spills”), and enjoyed it even though I’m not an athletic person. Why don’t you make the articles longer. The advertisements are taking up space that could be used for articles.

Less advertisements mean less articles, Matt. I’m the only one here who works for room and board.
Pedro celebrates the 100th birthday of Boys’ Life magazine with this exclusive look behind the scenes of how the Boy Scouts’ monthly magazine is published. And don’t miss the last scene for a special bonus!
matt, theres 2 reasons:1. they dont get enough money from just the magazines, the pple that make the ads pay boyslife to put therad in the magazine, 2. they only have so many articles, the ads take up the extra space, and make the magazine bigger, therefore in both way, they get lots of profit (if u dont know what profit is, then ask ur teacher!)
