No, I don't think that's entirely true. I have never had a subscription of Marie Claire, I never intended to, and I don't think I'm the only one. I think I can safely say that there are quite a few people who have read that article who don't have subscriptions to cancel, just because they don't agree with it. The only reason I knew about it was because of this thread, so naturally I will share it with everyone I know, people who likewise don't have subscriptions... I think we get the idea.

Whether or not Marie Claire goes down or up in sales due to this, isn't really the point. What it boils down to is a question of "Is bad attention better than no attention?" and I don't think that question can be answered by any of us. Even if this controversy attracts attention, it's poor attention. Personally, I don't think the idea of "feeding the beast" really applies here.
