IndyCar magazine goes bye-bye

(posted on 1-31-2008 after learning that the IndyCar magazine has ceased publication due to lack of interest)

We regret to inform you that IndyCar Series magazine will cease publication with immediate effect. Unfortunately, the last print issue was the 2008 Season Review and the last digital-only issue was the Mid-Winter 2008 Special, published December 2008.

About time, I wouldn't let that thing touch my butt.

Awwwwe. Too bad for the gomers. I guess they'll have to unstick the pages of their old issues if they want to see pictures of Danica and Sara in their nomex.

They had a magazine?? Surprised it lasted as long as it did. But wait, they'll blame the bad economy instead of the fact that no one bought it, read it or advertised in it.

No economy is bad enough to convince the world that the EARL crapwagon junk formula is worth watching, or reading about.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE POOR WRITERS AND PRINTERS AND AD SALESMEN WHO WILL NOW BE OUT OF THEIR $7.50 AN HOUR JOBS? THEY NEED MONEY TOOO!

That's what happens when you market a magazine to people who can't read.

For laughs I went to the EARL website to see if they had any story on the mag going AWOL. No mention however they still have a link for the rag. Went to the link and nothing but trying to sell subscriptions. Went to the subsciption link to subscribe and it comes up "INVALID PUBLICATION"

Damn!!! What a good week. Looks good on them. They can spew all the drivel they want to try and sugarcoat things. However, anyone with half a brain can see right through it. I guess that eliminates all 5 earl fans. Oh well!!

Anyone looked at ToothlessForum to see how they are taking all this good news?

I fear that my brains would turn to mush if I looked there. Studies have shown that with each visit has the equivalent on the body as smoking 3.444 ounces of crack.
