So there is a new magazine out called Dirt Kings. It's published by SourceInterlink, the same company that publishes Petersons 4 Wheel and Off Road, four-wheeler, Off-Road, 4 Wheel Drive and Sport Utility and a bunch of other automotive mags.

It's meant to be a humorus / light reading off-road mag with lots of pranks etc.

Well on their first issue, they screwed up....
The obviously staged models were at a picnic while the truck ran it all over...





It's the one year anniversary of the desert race crash of the CA 200 desert race in johnson valley...
People are quickly associating this first issue with the crash.
The people behind this mag, were clearly not thinking when they made this issues but with the off road crash in mind, it sure doesn't make the off road crowd look very good.

What do you guys think?
People seem to be very opinionated and outraged by this as shown on the magazines facebook page here:

I didn't think so at first either but a lot of people on pirate seem to be pretty bent up about it.

What do you think about the magazine itself though... like the direction of it. I personally tink it seems alittle wreckless but i guess that comes with the humor in it?
