So SAD

Check this out: When you click on the below link to a Northwest Illinois' Journal article about the serious issue of Seasonal Affective Disorder, you hear a cheerful female voice sing, "Perfect moments. Perfect diamonds."

Um, yeah. Just what you want to hear when you're depressed.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is treatable

Speaking of diamonds, our city magazine did a feature this month on buying baubles, and it just pissed me off. The diamond trade is awful, our city is awash in violence, and you're writing about bling? Yech.

Comments

What a sickening article that was in Philly mag. But expected from them.

"Philadelphia Magazine" really pisses me off royally. Does anyone over there have the slightest clue about anything that matters?
