If you like magazines that challenge the status quo, I would recommend Adbusters. They have a web site at adbusters.org. They've made some great spoof advertisements - Joe Chemo (take off on Joe Camel) is one that easily comes to mind. Also a great Absolute Impotence ad. They have a Spoof Ad gallery on their web site, plus something about their TV uncommercials, and other stuff too.

*OFF TOPIC* Konrad, Russell: Agree with your comments re: magazines. Lapham (Harper's)is indeed the archetype of the curmudgeon, but a lot of what he writes makes sense. I remember an article a year or so ago wherein he mades a good case that the major power in the country is permanently centered within certain big business and University areas, and that the particular political party in power at the moment makes only a marginal difference to the ordinary citizen. Too much Lapham can be depressing. With regard to other mags, The New Republic is very well written and a part of what I call the "honest left". National Review is the best overall mag for the conservative view, in my opinion. Read both sides of the controversies! I usually take pride in hearing both sides of any issue, but I confess to "tuning out" the "new era" bull story lately! Maybe it rally is the first new era in history, but I will remain unconvinced until I see the sun pop up over the Western horizon one morning. Jack
