Fucking hell the sheer level of cringe, the magazine itself is one thing, sure it is vapid tripe but it's just filling a demand. The really sad thing is that this sort of magazine actually was successful, and that barely pubescent girls cared that much about Bieber and others like him to purchase magazines like this one. I don't know which part is more unpleasant to think about, the fact that this magazine was profitable in the first place with this sort of 'quality' content, the fact that some teenage girls lapped up their content, or the fact that parents decided to purchase it.

Honestly though the most interesting part of looking back at this is the perspective it offers for what sort of shit was going on nearly a decade ago, and what is going on now.
