First World Youth Culture Problems To Be Addressed #1



20 pages, digest, $2.00 from Nicholas >>> firstworldyouthproblems(at)gmail.com
Very funny zine this. First up he writes about dragons, how cool they are, loads of spelling mistakes, so it's as though written by the most passionate yet spazziest contributor to an online forum for teen fantasy fans.
Then there's a bunch of personal ads. Example: "OLDER MAN IN 70S LOOKING FOR LITERATE COMPUTER OPERATOR OR SUBMISSIVE/DOMINANT WOMAN WHO ENJOYS CLEANING POOL. NO SEXUAL CONTACT NEEDED. I AM NEUTERED."
There's some movie reviews. Example: "Orpahn. This movie is scary about a oprhan that looks bad & I think she kill people. She gets in a home w/ parents but then bad stuff happens. i dont want to see this movie..."
An overview of the recent Batman movies including The Dark Knight, in which "the criminal masterking JOKER was played by super dead actor HEATH LEDGE."
I love this kind of demented idiot savant type humour and I know some of my zine pals do too. You know who you are.
[Note: There's at least five issues of FWYCPTBA. Collect 'em all!]
