Things About Magazines I Don't Understand

Why do magazines have the little inserts in them to order more subscriptions when you already got it coming to your house? Shouldn't they put them in for other magazines that are similar and not the same thing we are already reading? Imagine how much of an increase they would get then in subscribers, but I guess that's just too obvious to think of doing. I actually feel bad about the postmen having to carry all that extra weight, isn't the magazine enough it doesn't need extra!

Why are there so many naked women in a woman's magazine and not naked men? To me this promotes something that goes against how God designed the world to be. But perhaps, that's how the company operates and doesn't even realize it. It also adds temptation to the man in the house, if by chance he actually picks up the magazine to read. Plus most doctor's offices and dentist's have Redbook, and Good Housekeeping set out for people to read, with all those naked people in them. Are we soon going to have to add a age limit to reading those kinds of magazines simply because no one says enough to the nudity?! At what point does it stop? It's no wonder Miley Cyrus thought her pictures were ok till people started complaining, look at the examples we see everywhere we go!

Why are the perfume ads in magazines so provocative, I don't look anything like that when I wear perfume, and if my daughter thinks perfume leads to sex, shouldn't we rethink at what age our daughters where perfume? I don't buy perfume because the woman selling it looks like a slut. I buy perfume that smells good regardless of its advertisements, and I think celebrities who lower themselves into looking that way, have lost their morals and any respect I had for them.

How many trees were lost to make up for all the advertisements in my magazine that only had 30 pages of reading and 90 of ads? And people wonder why I like e-cards over real cards.

Why doesn't TV Guide magazine have a TV listing for all hours and days of the week, why only the evenings? Not all day time television is the same everyday. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to know what was on and went to my TV Guide to discover they can't even be bothered to print what they are being paid for. When I called they told me they couldn't possibly do that because of all the locations. They did it in the 80's!

How many samples of perfume really do need to be inserted into a magazine? You purchase it and get it home and before long you begin to wonder if you have a cat, and where it pissed in your house. I feel bad for those who have allergies to perfume. There are a lot of magazines they can't purchase without taking a Benadryl first.
