What is the point of having a subscription if anytime there's something special, we have to go out to the store and purchase a second copy of TV Guide at the regular price ( Read more... )

I agree with you. That's just stupid, that they put it on the shelves but they don't give it to their loyal customers, who pay them to send them their magazine every week. I feel the email isn't childish but completely justified.

What sucks is I have to sneak into my mom's email every few days to see if they respond. I hope they do, I hope they apologize and send us free stuff like useless totebags or something. :)

This is by far more intelligent, more composes, and way less spaztic than anything I could have composed.

And you didn't curse once

Oh, you should have seen how it was running through my head.

My brain is so fantastical that it can edit what's running through it as it filters out from my fingers. =D

I can't WAIT to see what the response is going to be.

I'm lucky if my mental editor doesn't fall asleep at the desk.

And since when was TV Guide $2.99 on newsstands? I mean, seriously, what exactly is so awesome in this magazine that it costs that much? If I wasn't such a nice person, I would've stolen the stupid DVD right off of a cover and put the mag back on the stand.

I remember when TV Guide was 99 cents. Is that sad that I can remember that and I'm only 27? I used to rollerblade about a mile to the gas station and get my copy every Tuesday.

And believe me, ten years ago? I totally would have stolen the DVD.

I remember when TV Guide was 99 cents, too. I still have copies that were that cheap. I actually almost got a job there doing proofing stuff - you take a test where you fix the errors in a paragraph about tv shows and he said that people rarely catch an error in the Flintstones title (it was spelled Flinstones).

Mkay, I wouldn't have caught that. Heehee. =D And wow, I always wonder how hard a job like that would be. Proofing things scares me, after a while of looking at words, they start to just run together.
