Appleseeds... ewww.

Okay, so I read the May/June 2010 issue of Appleseeds magazine. Wow, it was super gross. IMaybe it was just the theme for the issue, but I literally was feeling queasy when it was over. The cover featured Mike Rowe, the infinitely lovable host of the show Dirty Jobs. There was a brief interview with him that was fun, but then the magazine decided to talk about other dirty things. Some of them include poop, blood, gore, body parts, human farms, "raining vomit", and tapeworms just to name a few. And if it isn't enough to talk about all of these things, having high quality images just makes it all come together.
The grossness of this issues will undoubtedly attract some tweens. I guess that this is all stuff that needs to be dealt with and if exposing kids to it early preps them for a career death, dirt and disease then that is a helpful magazine... I guess.
