As many of you know, I "beef it" 4 times per week (that is slang for lifting weights for purposes of gaining muscle mass). Often, I use "Men's Health" as a resource for learning new routines to mix it up. Sadly, the editorial board has endorsed Barack Hussein Obama and placed him on the front cover with a fluff piece. I have now cancelled by subscription, and sent the following e-mail to their subscription services:
"Gentlemen: I do not subscribe to Men's Health for political indoctrination -- I want health and fitness information. Period. Your cover story and fluff piece on Obama this month is quite annoying, not only because of its tacit endorsement of a candidate I do not support but also because McCain's story as a POW is far, far more inspirational than Obama's story. How does a man survive the POW experience? That would have been a riveting story, but was not even covered. I guess Obama's experience of "community organizing" -- what ever that means (knocking on doors for signatures??)-- was more interesting to the editorial board. Anyway, cancel my subscription immediately and refund the difference. This subscription has been a discretionary expense, and if I'm not getting what I paid for, I see no point in continuing."
Pretty nice site, wants to see much more on it.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely with the comments on the Men's Health issue. The mere fact that Obama was on the cover doesn't bother me. It is the fact that it was released a few weeks before the election. This was a clear ploy to help the campaign. (regardless of what their customer service employees may tell you). I also have said "goodbye" to the magazine.
