I agree with Bob about Chim, and all I'll add is that anything by the original four speaks more to the spirit of Magnum in my view. Admittedly, that's, in part, a nostalgic view, but I'm gonna stick to it any way.
Organizations have a right to get their name out there, and if social media works, go for it, and if the young are using it, I can see value there, though sole reliance on social media would be very silly indeed, but they're probably not going to do that. So no harm in letting the twits get on with it.
