Well, that's short time curiosity. The question is, what are they reporting on now? What is their intended readership? What are they doing differently compared to the shitload of other magazines on the market?

In short, they said good bye to their old USP. But they have to have one. Otherwise it's a losing game in a very competitive market. Magazines don't live by being sold on the streets. The agencies have to see a reason to invest ad money.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Actually can you take my youth death story to the science community so that they can come up with a youth resurrection formula? This way I can some day have an eternal blissful youth. This should be the science communities main goal.

Hey, now, issues 2, 3 and 4 I think contained the first printing of Fahrenheit 451, paid for with Bradbury's and Hefner's last dollars and creating 1) a lifelong friendship and 2) a titpic empire.  Now, sure, maybe it's been a little downhill from there, but...

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

I never read the articles which were mainly pretentious dreck.  Without the pictures it will be less entertaining that National Geographic.

National Geographic: what a joke.  As if you can buy a magazine with a reputation and transfer that cred to your religious obsession.

I always thought that that was Playboy's niche.

Playboy's decision only confirms the complete destruction of Western civilization. Although, I have to defend the written content. Back in the day, work by some of the best SF writers like Larry Niven first appeared in Playboy.
