Magazine covers

Ive been taking a look at some of my magazine covers lately
and Ive been thinking. Does anyone really ACTUALLY look at
all the text on the covers? I mean almost in everycorner
theres some bit of info that really shouldn't be there.
Like is anyone goign to pay attention to it?

I just bought an Outdoor Photography mag today and this is
whats on it:

Top tiny red bar above mag logo: "Digital tips: Beat high
contrast - Try Macro lens - Fix faded slides"

Main topic on the left: How Pros Shoot Sharp (and below
that: Use their special gear & tricks - A case for the
"steady" lens)

under that on the bottom: Its all about light! -Extreme
western light and weather - how to work with light and
digital - soft light in the intimate landscape

then on the side by the barcode: filter secret: the midday
polarizer

COME ON!!!! Who would notice all that? seriously. They
waste so much space on covers its crazy! Un-needed ink and
it blocks the cover pic. and it really makes the mag look
really sensationalistic.

Everyone should be like National Geographic who has THE best
mag cover anywhere!
