>In keeping with this week’s blog theme of guilty pleasures, I feel compelled to confess my affection for Eurotrash comic magazine Heavy Metal.

I remember sneaking into the theater to see this R-rated flick when I was a wee lad of 12.

Not only was I shocked that there was nudity and *gasp* sex in a cartoon, but the gross out factor was awesome, too. I had no idea it was based on a magazine – I just thought it was cool that John Candy voiced a character.

A few years later I clued into the fact that it was a magazine and I’ve been reading it pretty much ever since.

The magazine’s sales are all over the place here at SC. Sometimes we’ll sell out in no time, other times we’ll only sell a handful of copies and sit on the rest. I’m not really sure how people decide when they want to pick up a copy…I just know that I try not to miss it, even when AJ mutters under her breath when she catches me reading it…

Highly recommended if you’re looking for a guilty pleasure, too.
