RE:  Mike Yon - Speak Out to HFM

The Huntress delivers the news that HFM's Shock magazine has shut down. 

According to Keith Kelly of The NY Post:   SHOCK IS OVER AND OUT.  GONE. DEAD.

HFM has pulled the plug on that piece of trash SHOCK magazine that stole Mike Yon's iconic photo and then reneged on a settlement even before the ink was dry!...

More at Huntress's Diary of a Hollywood Refugee.

A big thank you to all who boycotted, contacted HFM, retailers, etc.  You made a difference. ...

You can view the picture in question here, on Michaels site, btw; click the thumbnail for the full-size image.

Michelle has more here.  (OK, so that by itself wouldn't be worth a bump but a lot of people missed the story because of Christmas and I'm pretty pleased about it.)
