Readers Dump US Magazine Over Palin
MSNBC-Scoop ^ | 09-4-08 | Courtney Hazlett

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.

From what I understand of Wenner, he may have actually liked that....

Yes, but it would have been cruel to the gerbils.

This site makes it easier... BoycottUsWeekly.com
Totally agree with you there.

But, according to WP: "As of 2007, its circulation is over 1.85 million on average". Any big hit by outraged readers could only hope to pull some 10K subscribers. That guy is laughing about it.

Your only hope is his advertisers.

What would really work is to launch an “Executive Email Carpet Bomb” (see www.consumerist.com for how to do this), toward the executives of every advertiser of US. THAT will get their attention in a hurry.

The website is well designed for that purpose.
