Think the CONservatives are worried about their aging demos? New free magazine "Conservative Teen."

[K8-EEE]

As seen on Wonkette -- picturing a bunch of old white guys with consultants trying desperately to make dittoheads out of teenagers. Pretty cheesy!

And of course, because the titular reader of this magazine doesn’t know anything because they are home-schooled in a patient manner, the articles in The Conservative Teen are written by grownups, who all happen to be involved with either The Heritage Foundation, Fox Business News, the Family Research Council or the Media Research Center. Fun fun fun!

Yikes! My kids better not bring filth like this home or they'll be grounded!

1. Bombard the teen with propaganda and hope they don't wake up

Look at the headlines on the front page.

What teen wants to read that shit? The only ones I can think of have all been indocrintated at a very young age.

2. I'd like to get a copy of that...

...find out if there are any paid advertisers or if this is a wholly supported piece of propaganda.

3. Hurry up and get your subscription now! Oh, wait...

Well, never mind -- it's too late. From the Subscribe tab of their Web page:

"Regrettably, we were unable to reach the minimum number of subscribers required to mass print the first issue of The Conservative Teen magazine. The completed first issue in digital form is now available for free viewing on this website. ...

For those interested in a future subscription, you are welcome to add your email address to our database using the link below so that we can notify you when we resume publishing."



As for advertising, they apparently didn't have any. From their Advertise tab:

"We only allow the promotion of services and causes which are wholly consistent with the values of our publication and its readership. We are therefore 100% subscriber-funded and do not sell advetising <sic> space. Nontheless, you are welcome to submit your service or cause for promotional consideration."

4. btw, the cover image is a stock photo... from Denmark!

For what it's worth. Obviously, they felt this image would appeal to the intended audience (parents/grandparents with kids in the family for whom the magazine would be purchased).

P.S. They're not even American. They're Danish!!

P.P.S. Hm, whey didn't they go with THIS image?

9. That photo alone is worthy of a separate thread

Good catch.

[K8-EEE]

12. LOL good catch indeed!!

Not only are they not Americans I'm willing to bet they aren't teens.

[Codeine]

16. Healthy young people raised with national health care

and liberal social values. The irony fairly drips from that cover.

5. 'Why Abstinence Works'?!?

Judging by the cover, I see they're targeting the Aryan demographic.

[immoderate]

7. It is necessary to explain to conservative teens...

Why does abstaining from sex prevent pregnancy?

--imm

[Dawson Leery]

6. Old white neo-cons from the Heritage Foundation demeaning young people

(shaming them) for supporting gay rights and diversity.
Will Pat Boone be a regular columnist?

[pstokely]

14. Pat Boone is too busy doing ads for walk in showers and 60 plus association

8. Being "conservative"

is just like so totally awesome!!!!

[EC]

10. Blonde and blue eyed.

That'll broaden their base.

[mackattack]

11. Debt Paying Generation

Two unfunded wars and unfunded prescription drug plan. Think those are listed in the magazine?

[DFW]

13. Rather a heavy contradiction there

Portraying a gorgeous Danish girl on the cover, and then trying to convince their readership
that "abstinence works?" That should do about as well as convincing a vegan to work at a
slaughterhouse.

15. That front cover picture was taken moments before

both of those kids tore their clothes off and started humping like rabbits.
