I used to read Prevention Magazine when it was about wheat germ and megavitamins, so when I was offered a free subscription last year I said Why not? There might be something useful and inspiring in there.
Wrong. After reading a few pages of the first two issues that arrived in my mailbox, I couldn't get interested, so I started tossing them in the trash as soon as they arrived.
But not before I began to notice a theme to the cover displays. I am not clever enough to come up with a more appropriate name for the periodical, but I'd like t

How about Pretention? Protrusion?
My mom gave a gift subscription to me a few years ago. I told her it was okay if she didn't want to renew.

How about Preventication?
No, of course that is their illusion, not yours.
I'll admit to enjoying Prevention, or at least finding some useful info in its pages, but I'm pretty dang tired of their whole Flat Belly diet thing. I wish they'd get off the whole weight loss thing, anyway, and focus more on nutrition.

Heehee. Subtle, aren't they? :-)
I wish FLAT BELLY I could think of FLAT BELLY a clever FLAT BELLY title, too FLAT BELLY...
Sad. This is why I love magazines about art, cozy houses, and writing.
Sounds like editorial burnout. I know what I'd do with a subscription, I'd have a week off every month from collecting freebie newspapers to line the cat tray with.
"Bell Begone"!!!
