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.
