Who buys the tabloids?

Nobody admits to buying these rags, yet they make huge amounts of money.

I ask this because when I was in the store I saw this woman reading one. When I got in line behind her she put it back like she was embarassed.

So, who here reads these?

never bought one
in NYC the regular papers are just as good!

Nope.

But I do get my best local soap opera dirt from real estate agents and our bookkeeper.

occasionally

it can be enlightening to see their point of view, and how they present it

opinions are much more obviously put across in our tabloids, and much less factual info too

plus they always stick a picture of a nice topless lady in there too.....not that i buy the paper for that or anything

That's like a live version of a tabloid. Plus I bet it's a lot more juicier.

True, and you have a higher chance of running into the focus of gossip in the local market or in the post office.
