            by thinking for yourself on the subject.  (Isn't that
            awful?)
            \_ It's not all so intuitive.  For example, doing

            insecure males -- "graduates"of magazines like Details,
            if you will....  For example, car ads don't appear in
            Details (basically, all you have money for are clothes
            and cologne); it's not until GQ till ya start seeing SUV ads
