Did You See This Yet? Did You See This Yet?

You might be wondering why I duplicated the headline above. Well, take a look at the image below and tell me if you understand why I might have done that…

Wait, what? Wait, what?

As it turns out, a recent edition of Men’s Health magazine might have been a bit of a mistake. A bit of a mistake. Okay, I’ll stop that now. Turns out that Men’s Health magazine used almost the exact same cover for a recent edition as they used for their October 2007 edition. Talk about being in the bush leagues!

I don’t read these magazines because, well, they’re essentially the same article over and over again (as this mistake proves to us). I’m reminded of something that a friend of mine used to say when it came to recruiting new members for our fraternity. He used to go in and tell the prospective guys that if they didn’t know how to talk to girls before they joined the fraternity, then they wouldn’t know how to talk to them after they were done pledging. In other words, don’t think that by believing in a stereotype that certain things will come true.

I’m reminded of this statement because I think that there are people who buy into these magazines and the bullshit that they sell. Hopefully, people will see through the garbage that this particular magazine is selling and realize that they’re being sold rehashed crap over and over again. By the way, I found this article on Gawker.com so feel free to check it out over there (as well as the editor’s lame excuse for how this happened).
