From reports on other SCA mail lists, that Maxim magazine article would seem to not be a good one for the SCA from a PR standpoint. I'm happy to see that, for at least one individual, it did help us.

So it appears that the SCA got a full feature length writeup in Maxim
Magazine, with big photographs/etc.
 
It's not in a good light.
 
The title of the article is "Game of ... Dorks".
 
And they lambast the fact that we are sitting around drinking Monster
Energy drinks, and have Cobra Commander stickers on our helms. (I'll
note that it wasn't an Atlantian Event, with our appearance laws.
Therefore, the pictures show a lot of people in rather modern looking
equipment on the field)
 
Just thought folks might want to know, since I hadn't heard it mentioned
here yet.
