The display blizzard

Am I alone in thinking that the number of coverlines on some magazines has reached the absolute maximum possible? The current issue of Seventeen has barely a place for the cover subject's nose to poke through. (Not that any Canadian magazines would do this...)
Larry Dobrow, who occasionally does commentaries on magazines for Media Post, took off after Seventeen recently:
Seventeen seems to think we're, like, not smart. There's this story about overcoming fatigue, which says that we should get nine hours of sleep per night--hello, duh!--and this other one which says that we'll look great in tight T-shirts if we, like, lift our arms more often. Everything in here is "cute" and "cool" and "glam" and "hot," plus they use more exclamation points than you do! OMG!!!
