A good advertisement disguised as a review.

Unfortunately a lot of trade magazines do exactly that. You advertise in their mag, they give you promotions and puff piece ‘reviews’ of your products. It is incestuous. The Knife magazines got so blatant about it that Cold Steel (Ventura CA) REFUSES to advertise in knife mags, and lets the chips fall where they may in ‘reviews’ (they make the best knifes in the nation, and therefore the world).
