Title: Do the Math
Review: I picked up a recent, random issue of Time from a pile. And counted:96 pages.- 67 full pages worth of advertisements. (61 full pages, plus 12 half-page ads).-------------------------= 29 pages of "content"And many articles are like advertisements, covering celebrity,entertainment product, diets, gadgets, and vitamins. Plus 4 pages in the sampled issue cover the "social trend" of having your closets customized. So you're left with very little lost in the clutter: Letters to the Editor (that pale next to internet blog posts/responses), short-attention span current event snippets; and Time's news stories with lots of big pictures! Whoopdideedoo!In short, Time seems aimed at intellectually lazy uber-consumers (who are also apparently too lazy to organize they're own closets!) who like Catalogs, and who have very limited interest in what's going on.
Is the review positive or negative?
