Asking yourself "what is the point of this magazine" is like trying to find meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.
There is no point! Just sit back, relax, and allow yourself to be entertained. Are you really expecting any sort of intellectual stimulation out of this magazine?
944 Magazine is the perfect reading material when you're sitting on the toilet pushing one out. You can go cover to cover in the 5-10 minutes you're on the john, laugh hysterically at points, get depressed over the future of society at other points, and otherwise keep yourself entertained. And a bonus is that every once in a while you might find an event or new restaurant opening that piques your interest.
And in the end, it's great for squishing scorpions.
Not to mention IT'S TOTALLY FREE. I guess if you paid money for it, I can understand a little resentment. But for a free throw-away? Give me a break.
944 serves it's purpose perfectly.
