The New Yorker - EXTREMELY OVERRATED
“I’m better than you”
The New Yorker is ridiculously overrated. There are several reasons:
1) 80% of the magazine is unreadable crap like short stories that make no sense and poetry (OVERRATED).
2) Annoying people (like NYU students) are constantly reading it on the train (underrated) and in Starbucks (overrated). Unless they secretly have a cool magazine (like Zillions, which ruled) under it, they are lame.
3) The cartoons (the worst part) really make no sense and make you angry that you can’t understand them. I entered a caption in their contest once, but they didn’t publish it.
If you want news, read the Times. If you want good commentary, read The Atlantic or Harpers (for god’s sake, don’t read blogs). If you want cartoons, you are lame. Cartoons are for dorks.

obviously, you never read TNY or you would know that there is never more than one short story or poem. Hardly 80%. Clearly, TNY including the cartoons are over your head.
I love this cartoon.
