I absolutely agree, but unfortunately 'money talks'. Presumably these adverts generate income, and without the income the price of the magazine goes up.

I for one would prefer the magazine to drop these adverts and make some savings on the fashion shoots. For the life of me I can't see the point of flying to Austrailia just to photograph a few clothes. Simplistic I know, but I'm sure that they could easily recoup the income generated from these adverts somewhere.
