My first ever magazine subscription was to Entertainment Weekly. I enjoyed reading about the latest in movies, television, music, and books for a while but after a few years I canceled my subscription. EW became too sarcastic and full of themselves — no doubt an attempt to appeal to the young male demographic. The stereotypical young male demographic.
