Hell, I'm with him.  at least to some point.  I remember argueing 
with this girl in school who read madmoiselle or how ever you spell 
that or something.  I swore up and down it was ruining her.  She said 
it didn't bother her.  Then she got a nose job and went anorexic 
(sp).  It really sucked.  She came out of later thank the lord.  

Basically I think those things are trendy shitty crap that ought to 
be toilet paper.  I'm not like forceing that opinion on anybody but 
I'd probably use them for that if I didn't have any two-ply around.  
I justy hate crap that inforces the idea that everyone should be 
uniform and fit a particular look or something.  I also hate 
publication that pay somebody hundreds of thousands of dollars for 
just standing there in some pose that helps 14 year old jocks get 
off.

but I'm not sure vienna or barbados would be my suggestion for a 
honeymoon location.  too common.  too trendy.  how about some aztec 
temples in central america.  maybe that's not exactly honeymoon 
material though.  maybe i don't need to worry about that kind of 
thing anyway.

I wonder what JD would like for a honeymoon spectacular?  Buddhist 
monastery adventure or sunny beach in Florida?
