See? Here is how they get you: There you'll be, minding your own business, cutting down on paper, preparing yourself for the nook, the I-pad and all their descendants. Then, on your way to the shredder, you'll notice something in the papers in your hand. Wait, what? Both Marie Claire and Bazaar for $9?! Has it come to this? Yes, it has. The future of magazine publishing has been running towards the virtual world for quite some time. These super cheap subscription rates that are filling your mailbox are the death throes of paper and ink magazines.
So what is an old-school magazine junkie like you supposed to do? Well, what choice do you have? You and your paper-loving kind, are the last ones left. You are now historians of some sort. Corners in your homes that were once typical have become mini-museums for today's kids. What do you do? You detach the top portion of the ad in your hand, check the appropriate boxes, stick it in the postage-paid envelope provided, seal it, walk it to your local post office before it closes at 5pm, and stick it in the mailbox. That's what you do. And that, is how they get you.
