So wrong, and yet so right for this snark. But maybe that's the problem? King Mag is a *men's* magazine. This kind of promotion might work with Vibe or Essence, since both magazines have a larger readership among the kinds of folks who'd want to ride around with Lil Wayne (read: not the hetero men that King targets). They've just missed the contest target in so many ways. “Granted, a ride around NYC in a Maserati and dinner at Mr. Chow is a dime a dozen for some of us, but who could resist being featured on King-Mag.com?!?”

Why did I read what you wrote, but all I could digest was 'Young girls, if you want to show your ass on the internet, and I like it, then upload it, and I may prove that shaking your ass and putting yourself out there means getting a nice whip and meal out.' Maybe I'm just an old head at heart, but.....but.....ah, nevermind. Lol.
