Ok . . . YM usually sends me their crappy magazine in the mail for some reason, and I go through them not because I'm interested, but because I'm bored. And you know how all teenage magazines always have that section about the latest fashion trends? Well I came across it and there was a note to the readers that went like this:

title: 'Us? Shallow?'

text: "You probably think that all we talk about in the ym fashion department is shopping, clothes, and designers. Well, you're wrong. We also tackle political, environmental, social, economic, and academic issues. Just the other day we we conversed about a '50s faux-fur jacket that Pina's been CAMPAINING for as a birthday gift. Wouldn't the WORLD be a much better place if we all went fake? And furthermore, Pina could definitely wear that jacket to work with jeans or to an elegant PARTY over a vintage-y dress. For those of us who don't have birthdays coming up, the chubby (which, by the way, is HISTORICAL- the style was worn in the '30s, then the '70s) would be a great INVESTMENT for fall. Wear it with all those mod minis and skinny-leg jeans you've been STUDYING."

Oh... my... gosh, what in the h3ll was that? Was it to entertain the fools that really even give a rip about what's fashionable and what's not? Or, to anger the people like me for making an extremely lame attempt just to add the words 'political, environmental, social, economic, and academic' for the first time into one of their magazine issues? This is why I will no longer be reading any magazine that even has the word 'teenager' in it for pathetic articles and even more pathetic attempts to sound intelligent. Plus, there's this smiling waffle-head next to the article wearing black and white, the new latest color scheme to wear. To me, she is screaming, "Feed me to the wolves before I can infect the minds of any other teen girls that fashion, boys, and popularity is everything!"

Now please tell me what you think. It's mind boggling to me how people can be so stupid, AND manage to actually publish their stupidity to the entire world.

!.suzy.!

Korith, it's a ****y "made for girls" magazine. It's a lot of money and is full of cr@p. Don't worry about it.

magazines are meant to entertain not to have any sigifigant meaning i mean get real

YM magazine has nothing to do with YouthNoise, Korith. It's a cheesy teenage fashion magazine, like Seventeen, or Teen People.

Just go to their site (www.ym.com) and sign up there, or buy a magazine at the market and use one of their fill-out thingies to subscribe. It costs like $10 . . . too much money to waste on something so air-headed for me, anyway.

I don't get a YN Magazine...

What do you have to do to get one?
