As an engineer, I am quite the fan of M.C. Escher. His mindbenders are simply fantastic. But, today, I am using him to make an important point: how similar reading Playboy is to reading the New Yorker.
With both, you claim to read the articles, but you really only look at the pictures & cartoons. "Reading" Playboy consists of reading this Month's Playmate measurements and - occasionally - interests. Reading the New Yorker consists of reading the cartoon punch lines, and in the good old days, the little "There Will Always Be An England" jokes.
And you probably thought these magazines appealed to different audiences.
