The Mega-Zine Museum
January 19, 1997
RE FRIENDS
This is an American sitcom, so by its very definition it cannot be funny. You can see the 'jokes' coming from miles away.
I don't understand its success. Perhaps people feel comforted in the knowledge that there is someone out there less talented than they are.

By hating the show, are you worried
PEOPLE ARE MORE TALENTED THAN YOU?
DEAR WLW
I am a recent newcomer to 'Zine.
It seems that none of the contributors have lives. Neither do I!
But I don't pretend to be witty, ironic, sarcastic, cynical or worldly wise in order to overcompensate for my sad existence.

No - to compensate for your sad life
YOU'RE PAINFULLY PATRONISING
DEAR 'ZINE
My favourite album of '96 is Babylon Zoo - The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes.
It's so different. Indie is starting to become repetitive and boring. Babylon Zoo are different and in some ways similar to David Bowie except that Jas writes more creatively.
Like he says: "Music is one-dimensional at the moment. I want to put back entertainment." It makes them the best.

You're certainly a space oddity Ms Jas
YOU SOUND COMPLETELY SPACED-MAN!
DEAR 'ZINE
I think the 'Zine should have a yellow-on-black day to honour the humble bumble-bee. Besides - aren't you bored of green on black yet?
Cousin of Hympia - in the mood for change
No, we're not bored, but today we're
HONOURING THE HUMBLE BRUISE. SORRY!
DEAR 'ZINE
This is my debut letter. I thought I could do the same as many other 'Ziners do on their debut and make some amazing, unusual comment.
It has never been my style to follow the crowd (please don't let that spark off an 'individual' debate!). So I will ask the question: Why do skateboarders have chains hanging from their baggy trousers?
Cosmetic Dog
I DON'T KNOW! Why couldn't you make an
UNUSUAL COMMENT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?
