Sarah Palin: something really is happening out there

Us Weekly magazine runs a cover kinda nasty towards Sarah Palin, and look what happens:

"Three celebrity weeklies — OK!, People and Us Weekly — featured Sarah Palin on their cover, but one of those magazines is reportedly losing subscribers because of it. Us Weekly, which unlike People and OK!, chose a rather caustic cover line (“Babies, Lies and Scandal”) is said to have lost thousands of subscribers in just the first 24 hours following the printing of the issue.“I’m hearing it’s 5,000, maybe more,” says one well-placed source in the industry. Another source claimed that as many as 10,000 readers have already cancelled their subscriptions."

That doesn't happen unless someone has really struck a chord with people.
Something is happening.
