TWS has a Ball Park franks cover shot. When did Ball Park become a big player in snowboarding advertisement? Who in Ball Park figured out snowboarders represented such a palpable demographic? It must be paying off.
Personally, I am looking forward to Transworld’s Heinz Ketchup Issue, where the snow is died red and The Flying Tomato wins the pipe contest, pulls out a bottle of old # 57, squirts it all over his face, then deep throats a couple of wieners.
Am I the last angry man? Devo would quickly remind me that boarders have to make a living too. I guess he is right. Snowboarding has grown up and matured into American Pop Culture and will be marketed accordingly. But, that does not mean I have to follow suit. In my opinion, it cheapens the hell out of snowboarding mags. It will eventually make snowboarding blasé to certain kinds of people, mainly the people who loved it in the first place.
I am done ranting. There really is no good reason to rant anymore.

No, you're not the only angry man left. I am pretty upset about the whole debacle myself, but for different reasons. They photoshopped the logo into the photo.

Gorillas like CheddarWurst better than ball parks...
