yeup!! BANANA-a magazine geared towards azn-canadian lifestyle and culture. :Keebler:

i grabbed one off the shelf yesterday, didn't have a chance to read the entire thing yet but everything i've read was SO DAMN FUNNY!!!! specially the comic at the end. this magazine basically discusses and makes fun of the azn stereotypes (good grades, interracial dating, l8 night eats-da lang or siu yah :001:, the guys being hairless...etc.) it's good, i like it. the models in there are all azn cept some ads. even the cartoons are azn. it doesn't really offend the white folk (i hope!) but it makes me definitely proud of my azn heritage. i can totally identify w/so much of the stuff it's talking bout in there.

so has anyone else seen it round?? read it?? thoughts??
