Ami this week, “ Men’s magazine “ .
Meaning not the Ami Living, but the actual serious magazine lol
Business column interview w/ the guy who claims to own Chutzpah watches or something like that .
Is this guys for real or it’s a Purim joke???
In our house, we couldn’t figure it out .

Definitely a joke. The picture of the guy was ai. A couple of years ago they had a really funny one about a guy who owned a party snaps company and there was a whole discussion on here if it was real because it was so well done.

Yes, it’s a Purim joke. They do this every year. They make the article in the Purim addition sound so real that you doubt yourself for questioning it.

Omg. I totally fell for it. Didn't think it was a purim spoof for a second. I read every word and thought it was just so cool.

Are we totally sure?!?!? It was simultaneously amazing and hilarious and just this side of believable.

Purim isn't supposed to be April Fools. I like satire when it has a point, not when it's just fake.

The whole magazine was so odd.
There were a few article that left us scratching our heads.
Like they were trying to be funny, but were just weird.

I love good humor, nothing there made me laugh.

My girls were laughing over the lace wedding rings and engagement rings ad. I get all the magazines so I don’t remember which one it was in.

I read the Ami for the first time in a few years this Shabbos and was so entertained by the watch selling guy and by the private investigator. I’m so shocked that it was all made up although I was wondering how they let the watch guy badmouth his son in law like that.

It’s pretty wild that they do that without saying anywhere that it’s fake.

I don’t go for that type of humor. I can’t wait for next week when I can trust everything I read.
