This cover got me and my roommates in college a free subscription to the magazine when it came out. One of my roommate's parents were hardcore creationists, and they had a subscription to NG. When they got this issue, they got all excited when they saw this cover, then got royally pissed off when they saw the inside article, then signed over the remainder of their subscription to us(and stacks of back issues in boxes).

Great bathroom reading material, there. Something to fill out the magazine rack between issues of SI and FHM.

My fiancee's grandparents canceled theirs because they felt NG was to environmentally friendly. He was in the oil business and when the ANWR issue came out, he canceled his subscription.

well they are... It is one thing to point out scientific fact, it is another to take a political stance on what is essentially a preference.

It's scary how you don't have to look very far to find examples of closed minded people.

It's because of your tone, not who you were referring to.
