Magazine Subjection

Y’know what I hate? When you sign up for a magazine subscription, and they begin by sending you an old issue. This happened when I started a subscription to Wired (it was only $10/yr so why not). Yesterday’s mail saw the first issue, from February. Whenever they do this, I can just tell that they’re trying to liquidate a warehouse full of unsold February issues — and that annoys me to no end. Sure enough, today I got the March issue in the mail.

Yeah, it's like, "Welcome to the club -- SUCKER!" I don't know why they think it's a good idea to punish their loyal readers that way. They don't appreciate how bad it makes them look.
