If he annoyed me as much as you are whining about him I wouldn't watch him for all the pie crusts in the world. And if his magazine is trite and useless why look at them?? It's just like a car wreck for you, isn't it? You know you shouldn't look but you just can't tear yourself away.

You say you can't fault the guy for building a publishing empire but then bitch about him for doing it.
