Us Weekly now offering “five FREE issues” to outraged readers

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 9, 2008 12:51 PM

Just received from reader Jeff: The latest, desperate plea from Obama’s Palin-bashing backers at Us Weekly magazine to stop the bleeding. (You’ll recall that on Sep 5., I posted the first groveling missive from the rag’s customer service department urging readers to read the smear-filled article before canceling. Oops. Bad advice.)

They are on their knees:

From: US Weekly USWcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2008 11:17:57 -0500 (CDT)
Subject: Re: cancel subscription (KMM23347217I103L0KM)
To: xxx

Thank you for contacting US Weekly.

We are sorry you are upset over the Governor Palin cover. We do not want to lose you as a subscriber over one article in one issue. In an effort to keep you as a subscriber, we will add five FREE issues to your subscription. Please let us know if you would like us to extend your current subscription rather than canceling our publication.

Thank you,
US Weekly
Cari

    Hah! Good job to all who cancelled their subscriptions. You sent them a message and hit them where it counts – their profit. I would tell them to take their free issues and use them for the birdcage lining that it is.

    Dear Cari,

    Five *free* issues? Isn’t propaganda distributed freely to maximize eyeballs? That’s usually the case with alternative newsweeklies.

    I have a better question. How much are you going to pay me to read this trash? After all, a landfill charges you when you take your garbage there. Think about that and get back to me.

    Signed,
    Your former subscribers

    *out*

    Heaven forbid these executives actually focus on the matter at hand. They are in “put out the fire” mode… sad, short term solution-seeking. If they really had the stones, they would take their medicine and print a HUGE retraction, apology, and whatever else they can think of to save their sorry behinds. But even that is too late. It’s awfully hard to look in the mirror after such a hatchet job. But that’s the price you pay for being in the tank for Obambi!

    in one of jay Leno’s first published books of his now-regular feature “Headlines,” it featured an ad for Ralston Muesli cereal that stated, (paraphrasing) “If you’re not completely satisfied with this cereal, send us the box top, and we’ll send you a coupon for another box.” His comment below it was, “Dear Ralston, I didn’t like it. Please send me more.”

    This is more of the same. What a joke. Nice of “Cari” to provide her last name on the missive, too, eh? I’m sure she’s about as real as the Time-Life CD Offer Infomercial operator or the girl depicted in the drawn ad in the back of comic books which proved that an acne medication worked because (as George Carlin pointed out), in the next drawing, there are no more spots!

It is a “wash”, right?

    And would someone please inform the narcissists at US Weakly (no, not a typo) that when someone no longer wants something, they are not goinng to accept more of that item?

    This was in the “20-items-or-less” aisle; the other aisles had similar stories. People are pretty smart anymore. They’ve gotten wise to the mdia attempts at blatant manipulation.

    Free magazines are not the issue. They just don’t get it.

    Pun fully intended?

    Do not be tempted to go out and see their response… that’s what they are hoping for.

    Oh, I totally want to see a retraction and apology for their lousy judgment. But I’m not going to buy it–five minutes glancing through it at any newstand or bookseller will suffice.

    I love how US is, again, requiring angry subscribers to write a SECOND letter to *confirm* that they really mean it.

    US knows that at least half of the people who sent the cancellation letter won’t open the response, or won’t take the time to write another letter. It’s a brilliant approach to make soften the blow.

    If you are cancelling your US subscription, make sure you say “I don’t want any free copies, I don’t need to ‘confirm’ this – I WANT MY MONEY BACK, AND I WANT IT BACK NOW.”

    Or something subtle, like that.

    I want blood! I won’t be satisfied until the magazine declares for bankruptcy and ceases publication!

    Boycott this magazine until they are silenced permanently!

    The innocent staff of secretaries and office workers, etc. will find new jobs soon enough.

    A little facetious sarcasm on display there, huh?
    No one’s trying to destroy the magazine or it’s employees.The point is that people are tired of this and are not going to roll over and be sanguine with a large circulation ,supposedly non political, lifestyle publication trying to destroy someone’s political career with a misleading ,dishonest cheap-shot hit piece while it coos about and cheer leads the political opponent.

    This is fabulous. between this and MSNBC being referred to as heroin addicts, things are changing.

    The left will claim this is censorship (notice it was not censorship when Dr. Laura had her show canceled), but this is the free market at its finest.

    They have freedom of speech, and we have the right to refuse their product.

    Well done Double-M!

    US Weakly Subscribers:

    Leave them on their knees and walk away! You can always thumb through it in line at the supermarket if you are jonesing that badly. If you accept their offer of a whopping 5 free issues, you only betray the shallow nature of your expressed outrage!

    Five free issues? Doesn’t that constitute a spam bomb attack? Shouldn’t someone notify the Postmaster General?

    (Meanwhile back in the boardroom at US Weakly, cue Hudson quotes from Aliens)

    Hudson: “We’re on an express elevator to hell; going down!”

    Hudson: “Hey, maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!”

    Hudson: “Well that’s great, that’s just f$%kin’ great, man. Now what the f$%k are we supposed to do? We’re in some real pretty s$%t now man…”

    Hudson: “That’s it man, game over man, game over! What the f^&k are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?”

    Hudson: “Seventeen *days?* Hey man, I don’t wanna rain on your parade, but we’re not gonna last seventeen *hours!”

    They just don’t get it. You complain that you don’t like their leftist attitudes in their magazine, so they decide that you can have 5 more issues. It would be like if I was your neighbor and you complain to me about dumping trash on your lawn. “Oh, sorry, neighbor. To make it up to you, here’s some more trash.” Some really weird people working there.

    It really is amazing how much “people power” is on display since Palin was nominated. Us is begging subscribers to stay, Olbermann and Matthews get demoted, the MSM is floundering. I can’t wait to see how much more their readserhip declines. I want to stand up and yell “Suck it you GD elitist bastard$!!”

    Sarah Palin is a fraud and a liar and we don’t want crooks and undereducated people like her holding public office.

    She is perhaps not a retarded moron like Bush, but she sure is a cunning sociopath.
