Good for you as to getting the magazines away from kid-level & having the store owners put kid-appropriate stuff there instead. I think that's the BIG success.

PS - my son had porn videos sitting around. He & his girlfriend apparently liked watching them (she's "bi"). The thing that really got me was that the girls on the covers that I saw did NOT - repeat, NOT look like they were enjoying themselves at all...particularly in certains photos - can't go into detail here obviously, but when they were involved in a certain activity. They did NOT look happy at ALL....some of them looked quite miserable.
Anyway, thanks for getting the message across to the store people.

> Next day I removed them and hid them behind the chocolates - no change
> Finally I moved them to deep within the chest freezer, either they havent found them yet (or they are frozen solid) but today they have been replaced by childrens comics
