In "Fierce Pajamas" a collection of New Yorker mag humor pieces, Paul Rudnick, notes in "Teen Times" (org pub in 2000) that with the rise in youth oriented mags by established periodicals such as People, Vogue and Cosmopolitan, it's only a matter of time before others follow suit, and speculates on some possible articles, for instance:

--

Teen Scientific American: Penis Grafting: is it the answer for InSync?

Teen US News & World Report: Famine: does the weight stay off?

Teen National Geographic: The Pygmy Prom: don't worry about your hair.

Teen Psychology Today: Why Everybody Hates You: Duh, it's called, they're jealous

Teen National Review: Sex with a Republican: your best ten-seconds ever

While that last on is great, my personal favorite is the youth-oriented version of Tikkun, a magazine focusing on Jewish culture and politics

Teen Tikkun: Five Pounds By Purim: lose that Arafat

--

No doubt due to space limitations imposed by New Yorker editors, Mr. Rudnick couldn't cover the entire gamut of modern periodicals. Still, esteemed mags such as: The New Republic, American Heritage, Condi Nast, Fortune, Maxim, Martha Stuart Living, and many others deserve thoughtful suggestions, right?

If you're so inclined, suggest away.

Don't feel bad, Mr. Rudnick. At least I thought they were funny.

Say what? Now you feel terrible?

they ARE funny, rumple.

i'm trying to think about a teen MAXIM. of course, like Playboy it's rather teen to begin with.

Teen Maxim: Finding a prom date that looks like a porn model.
 
Well, this thread may be a few years too late. Teen People doesn't exist anymore. Magazine subscriptions are sluggish (although, frankly, doing better than I expected).

Anyways, here you go:

Teen Maxim: Funnier: Burps or Farts?
Teen Economist: Exploring the Cafeteria Free Market


I couldn't come up with anything for New Republic, other than trying to question why a magazine with a 60,000 total circulation would need a Teen version.

James, give yourself a blue ribbon (silk or beer variety) for that one.

I'd thought some of the political pundits might take off on the NR quote, even if just an "Amen" or two. But it's hard to know what to expect from AHer's.
