I've been a Wired subscriber for almost eight years now. I just go the little "urgent response needed" envelope from their subscription guys, but this time I'm letting it lapse. I'm done with Wired Magazine. 

 While I appreciate some of their articles and reviews, their content has become increasingly irrelevant to me. I don't care about the latest accessory for the BlackBerry, and I don't care about the people behind the people behind the director's cut of The Matrix. I don't like their vaguely hypocritical attempt at being progressive and granola, while at the same time spending endless column inches on war porn and coverage of the latest Pentagon toys.

And in particularly, I don't care much for having to make my way thru endless advertising disguised as editorial content, ads for Hummers and other crappy American cars in order to find completely vapid content like their recent "How To" guide. That editorial disaster insulted Steve Colbert by wasting his time and talent on promoting the most sophomoric collection of crappy articles. 

Besides, I can only spend so much time in the bathroom reading highbrow magazines, so something's got to give.
