I Pay for This?


Because it’s the only thing in the bathroom, and I’m a captive audience, I started flipping through the March 2008 issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine. I flipped 8 pages before I found any content. So, for giggles, a started counting the advertisements.

Of the 236 pages that make up the issue, 112 pages are full page advertisements. Of the 124 pages of actual content, 14 of those pages have half page ads on them. That leaves 110 pages of unadulterated content.

Starting on page 115, there are 44 consecutive pages of beautiful content and photography, but it really does seem like a needle in a haystack.
