: My sister pointed out to me that if we get the magazine to print more info..like an entire article...won't that make people want them even more? I mean are we skilled enough to emphisize the downsides but still show people how special and unique they are?

True, it would be hard to balance the two out. But I think an article stating the things to consider before buying, or the Pros and Cons, or something along those lines, would at least let people know a little bit more about them. And maybe this WOULD make people want them more. But at least they'd know AHEAD of time, what to expect, and the responsibility that's needed to own one. Because as of right now, I'm sure hundreds of teens have read that article and wanted one, but know nothing (or NEXT to nothing) about them. And personally, I don't think printing an entire article would make the situation any worse. I think knowing about their needs and requirements and having teens STILL want one, is a LOT better than teens wanting one, but knowing nothing about them.
