Three celebrity weeklies — OK!, People and Us Weekly — featured Sarah Palin on their cover, but one of those magazines is reportedly losing subscribers because of it.
Us Weekly, which unlike People and OK!, chose a rather caustic cover line (“Babies, Lies and Scandal”) is said to have lost thousands of subscribers in just the first 24 hours following the printing of the issue.

WTG, mate!
They will think Richard...and then they will really go after his car ;)
Heh heh! Reminds me of when the Sierra Club picked a fight with Pope John Paul II. They won. Well, at first they did. They got some dimbulb "judge-shopped" judge to issue an injunction preventing World Youth Day '93 from being held at a state park in Colorado as had been long arranged. But then, the SC's top brass bragged about it in their next newsletter to all SC members. They assumed that most members' "spiritual lives" were like their own, which was no doubt some mixture of atheism, agnosticism, Mother Earth / Gaeia worship, New Ageism, shamanism, Zen, and what have you. So they got the shock of their lives to discover that a huge chunk of their membership was Catholic. After being inundated with angry call, letters, faxes, membership cancellations, threatened cancellations, and the like, they went to the judge again and said, "Oops! Never mind!" He pulled the injunction, World Youth Day went on as planned, and the SC pleaded with their angry Catholic members to please stay. So they won the battle but lost the war. SCORE: Pope:1, Sierra Club:0
When will it all end? Now they're canceling subscriptions because of her...
Sarahphobia has it’s consequences...LOL
Neener, neener, neener!
I’ve got what’s bound not to be news to you, but the hoodrats won’t have a clue who Marx is. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. You might find a few of the brighter bulbs in and around Nashville, however, who might take exception.
Don’t you hate morons who will abuse a car over a bumpersticker? I didn’t dare do anything but walk around in a McCain t-shirt in Seattle. They’re not going to approach me personally. ;)
We had a Mercedes M320 black....back in 2000 when my middle child was born....had a pro-life sticker
at the OB’s office at Baptist Hospital in the parking lot someone keyed the entire car all the way around it...deep
4000 dollar repair
camera caught a blurred image.....a woman in scrubs..
our OB had never done abortions and obviously Baptist would never allow them.....St Thomas either
nor do the Frist’s hospitals to my knowledge
That ridiculous NON-magazine, “US,” had “thousands of subscribers” to lose? Who’da thunk it????????????????
old one on right in chickenhawk Wenner
he left his longtime wife and kids to indulge in fun with fecal matter

“(Us publisher) Jann Wenner supports Obama, Wenner media decided to follow the buzz around Palin before her speech, and now subscribers feel like a vote has been cast on their behalf,” says another magazine editor. “It’s going to be tough to bounce back from this one. Especially if the advertisers get involved. If they get nervous, that can hurt all of us.”
In general it's a good idea, however, here are my comments:
1. I think there is already a Palin ping list — I forgot who has it.
2. If you plan to have a list that is a “subset” such as outrageous articles about her — that could be interesting.
3. I know you have a sense of humor and that drove the name of your proposed ping list “mad dog Palin”, I think that has a bad connotation, even in gest. Recommend changing it to almost anything else.
4. Since there are a ton of articles about her and I expect this will continue, one could get inundated — if it's not a high volume ping list, you can add me.
Thanks.
Wow. That was quite the expensive bumper sticker. :( And completely disgusting that it was likely a hospital employee who pulled that nonsense.
*sigh*
It’s just the kind of immature crapola Democrats seem to pull far more frequently. No doubt they’d call it “political activism” or some other nonsense.
At the very least it was blunted a bit by the birth of a kiddo. Joy has a way of creaping in even during the worst displays of humanity...
Here is the post about the Palin Ping List:

Direct messages to the marketing managers, CEO AND CFO when possible.
Marketing and financial officers should know when budgeting for a campaign, if it makes sense to place in caustic, political publications.
They owe it to stockholders to explain such allocations of millions in ad buys on fringe, political pubs.
good
Meow!
