One of the Reasons I Read Frank Magazine

Sep 25, 2006 19:27

For those interested in Canadian political, celebrity and journalistic maleficence, Frank Magazine is a must-read.

I've forgotten the author's real name (I think he released a book a year or so ago), but in Frank he goes under the moniker of "Dick Little".

I picked up a copy of TWWN sometime during the summer of 2005 and was really disappointed to see they'd given up all pretence of being a "real newspaper".
