Do you read Vanity Fair Magazine?

Is it still relevant?  Are their Hollywood lists relevant?  They’re usually wrong about promoting and predicting future success of these young stars anyway.  Go and check out their past lists.

Do you take VF seriously?  Because I don’t.  And I have been a semi regular reader since its reincarnation in the 80’s.  I enjoy it for what is is, the same way I love my bowl of oatmeal in the morning.  But I don’t expect VF—or my porridge—to nourish and sustain me.  It’s light filler, and provides fiber so I can poop easily.  In fact VF articles make excellent sh!t session reading.  

After I finish my VFs I take a Sharpie and “editorialize” by adding captions and marking up photos with  caustic comments.  I do the same with the WSJ weekend magazine and the Brooks Brothers catalogs too.
