I ordered a magazine subscription about six months ago from a kid walking around the neighborhood. He seemed like a nice kid and also had the story about being from the "Hood." Well, I did NOT get any issues and thought that I had been ripped off but I found the receipt and called the company. They looked up my receipt and said that it was turned in as a "gift" and was going to a Boys and Girls Club in L.A. Now, I did NOT agree to that. I was expecting to get the magazine delivered to my home but I also think that if it gets kids to read and to take up exercising that is a good thing. 30 plus years ago I started reading this magazine (it was the forerunner to "Muscle & Fitness") as a kid myself and starting working out and it helped me. The company offered to give me another year free of charge and start delivering it to me but I said no. I guess what I am saying is the main thing for me is that the magazine is actually being delivered and some kids are hopefully reading it and maybe it will have a positive impact on their lives as my first issue did with me (I uploaded the cover of that issue that I found on the web). Midwestclearing.com was very nice to me and fully offered extend my subscription for an extra year for the "mistake" so I don't have any complaints with them.
