It is sad, isn't it? In my late teens/very early twenties, Cosmo was a huge deal for me; I devoured every issue. Granted, my interest waned (as is pretty normal) once I got married and had babies, because I was no longer their target audience, but I could still find worthwhile articles and things in it. I was shocked when I picked up a copy on a whim a couple of years ago at the nonsense it's pushing, the poor quality of the writing, the large chunks of it that are now devoted to filthy anecdotes about casual sex from "readers" whose average age seems to be about nineteen (it was like twenty-seven when I read the mag), the leftist politics injected in seemingly every article...it was not only gross, it was boring, and that's something Cosmo never was years ago. HGB must be turning in her grave.
