Why Isn't This Standard - Magazine Subscriptions

Finally, some peace and quiet.  Time to open up a good magazine and read about how to make a bong out of an apple and look at hot chicks......and clean up this absurd mess!  If you just opened a new magazine, you just got at least four or five index card sized sheets for a subscription on your floor.  Do the magazine companies really think that will make someone subscribe?  For that matter, if they knew you would buy every new issue they would probably rather you buy it off the rack for 5 times more than a subscription - I would have to imagine that would be worth sacrificing the subscription numbers they pitch to advertisers.

Does anyone that would buy a magazine not realize that you can get a subscription to any magazine?  And if that is the case how would you go about it?  I (meaning the world) would Google it.  Having shit fall out of my magazine just makes me pissed at the magazine.  Recently this led me to buying Bicycling Magazine electronically - if that is what they are after then congrats, it worked.  I guess I might understand ONE piece of paper to get people to subscribe - there are still a lot of people who haven't figured out the World Wide Wow yet, but why would you pay to put more than one in your mag?  There should only be ONE fall-out ad, not 12.  There should be a law against this - it's harassment.  It's the same thing as a debt collector calling you a million times.

There is one more aspect of this that sucks and you probably only think about it when it happens but it is horrible.  It isn't enough for these magazines to put 12 cards that fall out in there, but they also put one full page (which is just 2 more cards that you can tear out) that is extra thick so whenever you go back to look at something you ALWAYS go to that stupid page.  I was looking for the home brewing recipe page, jackasses, not how to spend $15 to be annoyed 12 more times this year.

Something must be done about this egregious breech of personal property.  Maybe if you subscribe already your issues don't have any subscription cards in them.  Otherwise, go digital.
