Collectable TV Guides

One of the cheapest things a magazine can do to increase its circulation is to print issues with multiple covers and then call them "collectable." I guess this is okay if it's a magazine that you might save anyway, but when TV Guide does it, it's just stupid. Who really wants to save old TV Guides?

What's worse is that TV Guide doesn't even limit itself to TV shows. They recently just had a "Star Wars" set of covers. Hello! You're TV Guide, not MOVIE Guide.

The latest stupid thing that TV Guide has done is a set of Elvis covers. Now I do realize that there is a TV movie coming out about Elvis, but the covers have nothing to do with this movie. The covers show the real Elvis, not the actor in the Elvis movie. The issue also comes with, get this, an Evlis music CD. Now they're CD Guide.

A magazine cover should be promoting what's inside the magazine. When you can't even do that, you're just whoring yourself to sell magazines.
