EW no more

EW is Entertainment Weekly Magazine. I have been a subscriber since the 1980's. I can't stand how useless it has become. For one thing, we don't have TV so half the info is useless, not their fault. But now they have filed the magazine with drug ads like a Readers Digest. The rest of the magazine contains large photos and hardly any words, most refer to "on-line for more info".
EW online is great if you have high speed band width. Out in the Ozarks, we are still using dixie cups with strings thanks to Century Link keeping us in the dark ages.
The magazine has become old, tired and lost its audience, the multi-media consumer i.e. -me!
So I am donating my EW's to the Senior Center where they belong. I am cancelling my subscription after almost 20 years. I will have to seek out my own sources for new music, books and movies; but at least I won't have to flip through drug ads doing so. A magazine should not make you feel old while reading it. Bye Bye EW you won't be missed in my mailbox.
