most of my time spent on airplanes is spent looking through the magazines and pondering why on earth anyone would want a sumo wrestler table lamp, or a fish tank coffee table, or a case with golf balls in it from all the premier golf courses. Skymall magazines are the infomercials of magazines. They take items that no one in their right mind would buy and entice you into purchasing them by taking you out of your right mind, either by stuffing their add with endless testimonials and " super special" deals, or by stuffing them with shots of over-tanned and over-bleached models who attained their perfect looks by using the product. Thats right, before they used the have-a-body-like-a-highly-muscled-skeleton-exercise-a-tron they were normal people, just like you! I think that airline magazines are the U.S. patent office's sideline business. "here we have a patent for a razor that doubles as a nose hair clipper that doubles as an insect repellent. You want it?" And that, ladies and gentalmen, is the secret behind the magazine.
C'EST MA VIE
