Tayari's Blog: The New Yorker is On DVD

Did you hear that the every single issue of The New Yorker is now available on DVD? Yes, it's true. For about seventy-five bucks you can own every single article, cartoon, review that ever appeared on those pages. For kicks you can try find the first black person they ever published. (I may be wrong, but I think it's happened around that same time that the Mormons conceded that under certain special circumstances, black folks can be admitted into heaven. It was a trend.)
While this NYer thing is well and good, I want to see the entire archive of Jet Magazine on DVD. I want to own all the wedding annoucements, the beauties of the week, the celebrity puff pieces, the weeks best photos, the obituaries, everything. And if it were to be released, I promise I would buy it retail-- and from a black bookstore no less.
I promise with my hand on my heart that I wouldn't wait for the bootleg.

Jet Mag on DVD... Could you imagine? That would be so divine! I agree with you... Retail, from a black bookstore, no less...
The bootleg would be the hottest thing on the streets, though! LOL
