So I happened to be visiting my family for a few days when I noticed an issue of
Cosmo being pulled from the mailbox. I didn't think too much on it at the time. I don't hate women/beauty/fashion magazines or anything like that, but I don't follow them whatsoever (being hopeless uncool and all).
It wasn't until a little later, reading a particular article on
Cracked about the
7 Psychotic Pieces of Relationship Advice that the name popped up again. And again. Then some more.
Wow, Cosmo, thought I. You just...cannot be serious.
So I decided to do some digging and found
7 Sex Tips from Cosmo That Will Put You in the Hospital.
Huh, I mused. no, this
must be a joke.
They couldn't possible be
that stupid. Cracked is not exactly the forefront of good investigative reporting, so I decided to expand my search a tiny bit.
Hey, isolated incidents, right? Cosmo doesn't actually
want to hurt me, my faith in my loved ones, and my own self worth as a human being, do they?
No,
of course not.
Well, I'm convinced.
On the other hand, maybe I'm wrong! Maybe the folks at Cosmo are actually brilliant business geniuses. Because as of this moment, I'm tempted to grab a few issues purely for their
unabashed comedic value.
And on an utterly unrelated note, here, have some art!
oh god. cosmo is INSANE. i can't believe i actually used to read it when i was 18. it's the worst thing in the world for an 18-year-old to actually take seriously.
@chantilly
I never really read them past skimming them in offices, so I never got the full idea about just how insane they are...which is a lot, wow. o_o
