America's most overrated magazine does not have to worry about offending its advertisers, but then, no big-media outfit has to; advertisers don't watch television, and they can't read.
(And this, of course, is the same vastly overrated magazine that two years ago treated its readers to
Adam Gopnik's smoked mozzarella and John Updike's tinkling. Combined with
a recent gas expulsion from Esquire's editor and
Jonathan Alter's superpatriotic masterpieces this piece confirms my belief that most periodicals go from writer to reader practically unedited.)
