No Expiration
Written on February 6th, 2010
I like celebrity gossip as much (or more) than the next person, but I rarely buy any magazines to get a fix. I watch shit like E! News or whatnot for that. People Magazine sent me a card saying I could receive six free copies as a Christmas gift so I accepted.
What KILLS me is the people who take the time to write a letter to the editor either praising or arguing about certain articles or celebrities. Every magazine, even TV Guide, has their “Mail Bag” or whatever, and they print some of the letters.
Joan K. in Baltimore was “moved to tears when she read about the Jonas Brother wedding! How nice to see such a lovely couple begin their new life together!”
Seriously, Joan?? You were moved to TEARS???? Hey, I love weddings, but a) you weren’t THERE, and b) you’re a grown woman and you give a shit about one of the Jonas Brothers?? You MUST be an adult, and likely in your fifties, because there is no one under 30 named Joan.
Teresa S. in Nashville “was having a really bad day until she got home and found her copy of People waiting for her and stared into Patrick Dempsey’s beautiful blue eyes! Thanks for putting him on the cover! I’ll keep this edition forever!”
Yo, Teresa: Friendly piece of advice–alternate hands while you masturbate to Patrick’s picture. Otherwise, one side will be all crumpled and will ruin the integrity of the shot.
David P. in Orlando wrote, “Betty White proved that she is still classier than any of the young Hollywood starlets at the SAG awards. These young women should take a lesson from a real lady. Even at 80-plus years old she is still beautiful.”
David: I am guessing you do a mean Betty White at the drag shows.
Damn, and I thought dicking around on KCL was a waste of time.

Gosh those things make up 90% of their so called news. Perhaps they make up the letters to the editor too. Though I do know a few people who are - ??? what do I say and still be nice ??? - the kind of people who would write those letters. |

My middle name is Joan. I enjoy reading a little People magazine when I find one either in the doctor’s office or the airport. I would never be caught dead buying one. Never waste my money. Sadly Robin Williams made the “headline” news on MSN news…headlines?? celebrity news?? Just silly. |

Sugar, that was the one tabloid that truly made my day when I saw it. The first one–that broke the story about Jon fucking around. I bought it, and skipped to my car. |

Westy and Eff have proved my point–NO ONE under 30 is named Joan. Same with Nancy or Linda. |

I used to have a subscription to people. All I can say for myself is I was 20, and … we’ll just blame it on the fact that I was 20. That damn magazine came EVERY FUCKING WEEK. got to the point where I quit TRYING to keep up with it and no, I didn’t even consider renewing. The letters to the editor… I skip those. They make me gag. (and now I rarely read people or any other such mag) |

I deliver magazines, but I only scan the covers of the tabloid mags. I don’t have time to read that shit at work, and no way I’ll take them home. I’d rather read the shit here |

When I was working I had subscriptions to all of them so I would have something to do on the slow days lol. Since retirement I only buy them when I at airports. I must admit my sons does have a subscription to People and he’s 25 says he got hooked on it from a girl he was dating. Me I just hit search and find out what ever I want to know. |

I confess we only get This old house and Playboy. Both are Jim’s. I try to loose the renewal things on the Playboy, but Jim always catches me. |

With Playboy gone there will be more room for the classy men’s periodicals like “Jugs”. |
