Got the idea waiting for a burrito in a restaurant and reading a magazine article saying "Think Twice Before Killing Mice" about how killing mice upsets the delicate ecosystem of the ghetto and may result your chakras being knocked out of alignment or something. I wanted to write "...then kill them anyway"
but I didn't have a pen.
Magazines are still with us especially in public places and I would think a little write-in-comment-section below all the articles would make it more interesting to read and kind of fun having an element of interaction.

I think the lack of editing / censorship would result in commentary similar to what one reads on bathroom walls, a space where write-in-commentary has been practiced for centuries. |

Except public restroom graffitti is made by the kind of people who deface and vandalize bathroom walls. These magazines would come with an invitation to anybody to chime in on articles and such therefore drawing from a more law abiding crowd. Kind of like some internet news pages that invite people to comment on the stories. Yea, there would be trolls, but trolls can be entertaining sometimes. |

Plus, if somebody wrote something really vulgar the next reader could always scratch the comment out. |

Another way to put it, it would basically turn
magazines into something more like the
Halfbakery where people get to speak there mind.
I think I'd find the comments more interesting
than the articles sometimes. |

For instance, in the example given, I'd never read
an article about the Kardashians, but I'm pretty
sure I'd read the comments on such an article. |
|
| |
Not sure if we've exported the Kardashians to
England, but they're these talentless, stupid, rich
spoiled sluts whose sex lives we're supposed to
follow over here in America. Supposedly they
made 60 million dollars last year showing that
being a media whore can pay big bucks. |

Take that all you scientists, doctors and
