wwd.com:

REALITY CHECK: Kim Kardashian and her friends in reality TV land now have their very own mother ship, in the form of a magazine where all their antics will never go unnoticed. It's Reality Weekly, the new title from American Media Inc. that hit newsstands for the first time on Wednesday. Out of the gate, its competitive advantage is price, at $1.79 an issue. Reality Weekly, larger in size and less glossy than it rivals, is $2 less than People, Us Weekly and OK and $1 less than Bauer's Life & Style and In Touch -- important numbers as the economy sputters along.

"Reality TV Magazine Launches"

It's called "Get A Life".

Speaking just for me, I don't need this. I've got the Republican primary.

lower price indicates how low tv programming has become. cable bill gets higher for more trash tv programming.

Cable bills always have some "reason" to get higher.

Huge mistake in their marketing research.
Most of the people that watch reality television don't know how to read.

In the early 70's a business woman stayed home to care for her new baby.  Her friends from work asked her to keep up on their soaps.   Back in those days there was no VCR so the only way they could see them were on holidays and sock days.  But the soaps still had many loyal people who missed a lot.


She got the great idea of making a newsletter.   She bought two more TV's and started what would become a thriving cottage industry.  So of course big business, including some magazine magnates, started doing the same thing.  I hope they at lest bought her newsletter from her. 


And now this nonsense.  This is a micro history and lesson about the problems with capitalism.  It can work for people to start with little or nothing, until the idea gets Engulfed and Devoured by the big guys.
