Its as if the mag has no value...

Now, we all know glossy magazines are usually all shine and no brine, but how about the latest phenomenon of packaging gifts with mags? It's as though the editors acknowledge the words inside are worth nothing so they throw in something more tangible to add value.

But I do love the gender roles displayed:
  • Women's mag Vogue Entertaining threw in an oven mitt;
  • EVE offered a lovely scarf, whereas;
  • Men's mag Modern Fishing gave away a stubby cooler.
Just goes to show both men and women need insulation, just of a different kind...

While you're at it, have a read of Acolyte's explanation for why most men's magazines are crap. Can't say I disagree...
