I recently started receiving Harper’s Magazine.  It was a free trial so I thought that I would give it a try.

Now, I have always considered Harper’s Magazine to be a conservative upscale literary publication.  It is like Reader’s Digest but geared for more of the intellectual crowd.

And, like most upscale publications, the ads in it are few and tasteful.  But, I was surprised when I read the classifieds.

The first ad that caught my attention was from a prisoner who was looking for a pen pal.  Well, OK.  I usually don’t associate prisoners with Harper’s but I guess that it just my stereo typing.

Next was an ad for organic skin food.  I don’t know what that was all about but it did catch my attention.

Then, there was the ad for the permanent burial of ashes.  I don’t know why someone would be concerned about this but hey, it’s a free country.

But, the ad that really caught my attention was the video of spanking, both clothed and nude.

I guess that some of the people who read Harper’s Magazine have a kinky side to them.  What ever.
