My made-up (but plausible!) Time cover from 2006Image courtesy of wavepacket It's no secret that I'm not a big fan of
Time Magazine. In 2006 I wrote a
blog entry criticizing Time. And in 2002 I was sufficiently upset to write a letter to the editor, which
you can
see here.
But after a while I stopped caring, since after all, they have magazines to
sell, and I have better things to do (and read). So I stopped subscribing years
ago.
However, today
The Onion published a hilarious
video about Time: Advanced, which pretty much captures my feelings. It is sometimes brutal, but maybe
Time has backslid even more since I last read it.
To be fair, the editors are just trying to play to the lowest common denominator, so
they can keep as wide a subscription base as possible. When you do that, you'll
end up with something like Time.
But The Onion video
is awesome.
