READERS DIGEST GOES BANKRUPT

Comments

Well magazines are dying. Why would we need a digest of magazine articles?

[Jenny Bell]

SOME of us still DO love to read !

When they replaced the fun, Americana-style art on the back cover with soap ads featuring half-naked women, I was done with them. Of course, I'm under 85 so I'm out of their demographic, anyways.

I guess soon You will have to use Your Laptop when you go to the Bathroom to read! Not Me though.

[JoelintheBurbs]

Jenny, you are allowed to read your computer or any of a variety of ereading devices like a Kindle or another type of tablet.

One by one..the institutions of Norman Rockwell are crumbling around us. Churches... gone. Boy Scouts...dying the death of a thousand lawyers. The American WESTERN... history. Readers Digest... bankrupt.

The way it was is gone... replaced by TMZ, 70% of births out of wedlock, welfare queens, 60% High School drop out rate, and urban rap.

sorry, none of this is allowed in MY house!

[Walter]

shut up john, urban jackoff is wanting you now.

[Rourke]

ltjd...where to begin?
I'll keep it short.
A.) Percent of all births to unmarried is 40.8%
B.) The National Rate percentage of high school drop out rates is 8.1 %
C.) The world won't stand still for your frustrations (albeit completely false ones) and your obvious bigotry to the change around you. Deal with it.
D.) If you are going to spout some nonsensical, half assed, close minded tirade, at least include some actual facts or research. Instead of coming off like an uneducated ass you just come out as an ass that way.

Walter God love ya. You are without a doubt even more intelligent than JO in the burbs, because you convey such wisdom, such depth in as few words as possible. I really value your input at all times.

[UrbanGent]

Thanks JO, always open to your brilliant ideas. Thanks for sharing your latest butt post with us

Then your hero John Wayne should have led to more gun violence and Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack would have led to more infidelity by the same logic example, right? Or is it only not o.k. when it's another generation?
Nonsense, blaming the ills of society on things that anyone with half a brain cell consider entertainment (and know the difference) is the argument of a lazy thinker and an apathetic being.
It's a good out and excuse for those that society has moved on from, those stuck in the past that can't deal with the present world and deal with things without pointing a finger at others. Kind of like Republicans and Democrats.
You're out of touch, John.
