Whenever I work with guys like this I end up wanting to kill them. Also I think this format has real problem in getting advertising in the readers' face. Without crap like pop-ups or forced viewing of 15 second ad animations prior to accessing what you want to see - which, had they been featured on this video would have killed the mood of understated-yet-know-it-all "cool" - I just don't think this is as good of a deal for advertisers as traditional mags.
