Dayum, I was hoping that there'd be more pictures from Linda in there, there weren't as many as I was expecting. Ah well, not too impressed with the CB interview. *ugh*
But I didn't find it as funny as the first three, am I the only one who thinks that? Lol.

I liked the issue generally, but I'm not personally supportive of the CB interview being in there. On top of which, I was quite insulted on behalf of Tom by the answer to the stalking question. There's a dig there that you can't ignore:
We‘ve had our fair share of fans in front of our front doors as well. Up until now, we‘ve always managed to keep our sociable and nice attitude though. It never harmed anyone to just be friendly to people.
I have never like CB and that's harsh considering they were being asked in relation to Tokio Hotel and what Tom has just been through, which they can't have failed to notice. I've lost any smidge of respect I had for them.

I haven't had time to read the entire issue yet, but that comment seriously annoyed me.
I don't want to go into all the issues we've already discussed about what happened, but I am repeating what Claire said - I never liked CB before ( though I was prepared to read with an open mind ) , and that is just strengthened now.
I am aware that they are entitled to their own opinion, but I don't think an official TH fanzine is the right place to express it, particularly when it's so obviously a dig at Tom.

I agree with you but one thing is that from what I read and what Ziggy and Onerva said, CB didn't really seem to know that MONSUN is a TH fanzine and that they weren't "real" reporters. anyway it still wasn't nice of them saying being nice can be good or what ever, I can't really recall it.

Well I don't think they should have 'published' that question. It's so inappropriate IMO. I mean, they could have left out anything that portrays TH in a really negative light like that. Monsun has always walked a good line with satirical humour. Their 'negative' comments about TH are in fondness and done in a teasing way. But that question was serious and the answer was a serious answer portraying TH in a negative light...it should have been left out if CB weren't aware of who they were talking to.

tbh, i dont see the problem with that question or CBs answer. we dont know that they (CB) were referring to TH in their answer.

I think the fact that TH was referenced in the question makes it kind of obvious that they were making a reference to TH in the answer. I just would rather have seen it left out.

Well, whether they knew it was a TH fanzine or not, I find it bizarre ( no pun intended! ) that they would be interviewed without clear knowledge of what it's for, or where it's going to be printed.
Either way, that particular question was clearly TH / Tom related, and like Claire, I just would have prefered not to see it there.

I,too, think it's weird that they didn't know who they were talking to but that is what I got from what I read.
the stalker subject is clearly a sensitive subject and they could have left it out, that is true.
and I understand why you feel the way you do. maybe it's also a way of interpreting it. in german and that's the original I suppose, they say"Freundlichkeit hat noch niemandem geschadet" which is a normal german phrase. clearly seeing what happened to Tom it is a provoking one and one should think about what one says but I'm not sure they meant it in a criticising way. we'll never know that for sure obviously and I understand the reasons why you rather had it not included.however I can also see why it was included.
