Agreed. Another thing that pisses me off is the editorial style: "I met Mike in a soon-to-be fashionable dive bar in the lesser known South part of town, where Pearl Jam's former masseuse mixed us a cocktail containing african dung beetle livers and wolfsbane." Ever since Po Bronson was covering the dot-com boom with stories of weed growers from Michigan launching dot-com empires in his graphic you-want-to-be-this-guy style, they haven't shifted away from it. The style has been locked down ever since Conde Nast bought the magazine at Providence Equity's yard sale in 98. Reading Wired in public is modern leprosy - thankfully neither are too contagious.
