The Mega-Zine Museum
January 9, 1994
DEAR MEGA-ZINE
About the viewers poll. River Phoenix would never have won best actor if he hadn't died. I don't mean to sound callous, but it's true.
It seems people only realise the value of others when they die - you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
I miss River, but don't love him any more than I did before. He can't appreciate the praise from his grave.
Carl McCoy, a Nephilic Field
Cruel, callous and heartless! But true!

DEAR MEGA-ZINE
Why should Newman and Baddiel win awards? They've lost it! Since Spitting Image, David's adopted a light-hearted approach and Rob stopped being angry and aggressive and became pitiful and depressive ages ago.
Their material used to get them thrown out of clubs, now it fills Wembley Arena with screaming 12-year-olds. They're not funny anymore because they don't need to be.

DEAR MEGA-ZINE
I am looking for people. Special people. People who no longer have any control over their lives and are classed as "failures" by ordinary mortals.
I urge such people to join me on a quest for an alternative world in which we can find refuge from a cruel world like this one.
I say again; join me, you know you must.
Failure Boy, Belfast
OOOh-er! Spook-a-rama or wot???!
GO ON, ADMIT IT! YOU LOVE US!!!
